Hi everyone,
First I'd like to express much thanks to Daniel Tonks for this great web site. Well done!

I just purchased a RM-AV2000 I like it very much (esp since most of my equipment is Sony ES stuff and I hardly had to program any of the buttons). But I've noticed that when the light is on, the unit makes a distinct buzzing (or high-pitch whining noise). Anyone else notice this? Pretty inaudible once the music/movie gets going, so I can live with it.

Also, on the AMP button set, field in misspelled, as in "SOUND FEILD ON/OFF"!

For $130, though, you can't beat it. But I just something called Universal Remote for the Palm Pilot. A software-driven remote sounds very interesting.

Thanks! Yes, both the noise and spelling error have been noted. In regards to the noise, every single LCD that has that particular kind of "smooth" backlight makes that noise. It seems to vary in level according to brightness, and since the AV2000 is so bright it's quite loud. I believe it has to do with the circuitry that boosts voltage levels.

My palmtop does this (very dim light, so it's not loud) and so does the Pronto for that matter (once again dimmer than the AV2000's dim mode, so not as loud). Once you realize that this is normal, and everything does it, it's quite easy to live with.

Well, I guess you can say this Sony remote is #1
in its "feild" . For $130, you would think you'd get a unit with words spelled properly. I noticed this too. Also, there are some typos in the instruction booklet. You used to see this regularly in booklets from smaller Japanese manufacturers, but not Sony. Oh well, a sign of the times.
