I've simply been burned by Sony equiptment too many times in the past
and
I've learned my lesson.
What do you mean when say "burned"...? Sorry, my english is not good
enought
for tasting this phrase, I'm taking it literally.... ;-)

I mean that in my years of buying audio and video equipment, the Sony stuff
has ALWAYS proven to be the least reliable. I've had ONE single piece of
Sony stuff that did not die prematurely and that is my Sony EP9ES surround
processor and I attribute it's longevity to the fact that it's an "ES"
component, which means it's built by an entirely different division of Sony.
The other stuff that has broken:

2 car stereo head units
1 Laserdisc player
1 CD player
1 receiver


I can only think of ONE SINGLE piece of A/V equipment that was not Sony
branded that has broken on me in all those years and that is an NEC
integrated amplifier.

Needless to say, I don't buy Sony anymore, although I never really had any
complaints about the sound or video with any of the products. The lack of
reliability was the problem.
