Hello,
I have been browsing over here for a while - some excellent information and knowledgeable people but finally need to ask a few questions.
My situation is that I have 4 SVP 350's of which 2 are working and one I have broken for spares. I have a box of bits for a 310 (which interstingly had SONY 07MS tubes) and a 420.
My goal is the soup up the 420 as much as possible and use that for some home theater fun, however I was wondering what bits I can cross over from the 350s to the 420? Are the tubes compatabile if I take the tube sockets over aswell? Is it worth it - is the 420 a "better" machine?
What remote is needed for setting up the 420 - it has digital convergance and I only bought remotes for the 350 (RC3500?) do I need some fancy remote for the 420?
The 420 has a RS232 socket - can this be used to setup the machine from a PC / does anyone have any info on using this port? Likewise how can one communicate with the internal 232 / serial header on these units?
Finally - does anyone live near Wiltshire / Salisbury in the UK and want a cheap 350 or 310 / parts / whatever!
Thank you for any information,
- Alex
