GS,

I can remember a time when the Canadian $ was worth more than the US $. However, I was quite shocked to see that the canadian $ has fallen to almost 1/2 US$.

I used to spend quite a bit of time in Canada on weeend "jaunts" fishing, hunting, and enjoying the Montreal and Ontario Women :) I always felt most welcome in Canada, and not just for the "tourist" bucks.

About 2 or 3 years ago I was dating a canadian woman, and would likely be married to her if she didn't have such an "adjenda" for suing the canadian government.

I just wanted Daniel to know that Ferris's obvious prejudice toward Canadians wasn't held by all americans, and his arrogance and bias was in a tiny minority.

I've bought many items on ebay from canadian sellers, and other than the Canadian Post Office, have always been treated very well by the sellers.

good luck with your remotes, and glad to see ya here in this forum.

I sure know that works on a 7800. Have you done that with an RCU810 or are you just assuming it would work? How do you avoid shorting that backlight thing on the further side of the RCU810 PCB? On the 7800 you can just push the pins through the PCB holes and then tilt to make contact (the 7800 doesn't have that sheet).

BTW, does the RCU810 have plated through holes? If it does then the pogo pins you were talking about for the 2133 might work well on the RCU810.

Hello all!!!! I have ordered the JP1 cable..!! Very excited!!! I am sure I will be busy reading for the next few weeks! Will keep you guys posted...

Jim: Sorry to hear about your Canadian would-have-been-wife. PS - I love your country, especially Arizona!! My father and I visit every year for your Thanksgiving and it breaks our hearts to leave and come back to the snow and ice and freezing cold weather...

Rob: Yes, you heard correctly, the RS rep recommended JP1, I played dumb of course, like I had no idea what she was talking about..! Thanks for your great suggestion to go the JP1 route.

I truly appreciate everybody's comments in this thread.

I believe I have found myself a new hobby!!!!

See ya on the flip side..

Yeah, what's with the prejudice towards Canadians? I've spent a few weekends in Winnepeg and an extensive amount of time in Ontario (Markham, actually). My visits there were very pleasant and the citizens were more than accomodating. Heck, that's more than I can say for most of my fellow neighbors here in the U.S.

And, yes, the Canadian women are fine, fine, fine!!

Also, about 18 years ago, the Canadian radio stations saved my sanity. I was in the Air Force stationed at a base in North Dakota. Some of the missile sites where I'd work were very, very close to the Canadian border. While working night-shifts, the stations would play lots of Rush and other great groups - which kept my blood pumping and kept me awake. Thank you, my Canadian friends.

About the PS2, if you have the IR receiver but not the remote, you can use a 2116 and the two Sony DVD codes listed in the manual, 0533 and 0772. 0772 is setup to support the PS2 keys like L1-3, R1-3, the 4 symbols, arrows, etc. The 2116 is the first remote I've seen to have the PS2 code.

These codes also work for a JVC RX-R76BK receiver.. Actually, you really helped me out too...
