Hi Mike,

I'm wondering if you can comment on on a couple of things (that together 
may or may not be related): 

- Someone on AVS opened up a unit a while back and reported the presence 
of an IC, which I believe would be the Cirrus Logic/Crystal 533KZ audio 
decoder.  But I can't figure out why it would be present (i.e. why is it 
being used in lieu of the Conexant CX25843 A/V decoder) ? 
- However, if indeed that is the IC, then there might be some sort of 
connection to the fact that several people reported having trouble with 
audio on the analog side of the unit.  In fact, word got around that a 
Dvico CSR had mentioned in an email correspondence that the unit was 
incapable of  providing stereo sound in analog.  I never found the 
posting of this supposed Dvico email message.  Personally, it struck me 
that these individuals were either confused or had misinterpreted 
whatever the Dvico agent stated. 

Anyways, any thoughts?  Thanks.
