- I think the whole concept of "A/V" is mostly (not entirely - it does
- have its merits) a gimmick thought up by the manufacturers as a way
- to boost the sales in the land of mass-fi.

- Someone said to himself, "Hey, I bet if we put some video switching
- circuits and Dolby Pro-Logic surround into this Sony/Pioneer/Technics/
- Fisher/Kenwood/JVC/etc we could tap into the VCR crazed populous and
- really make a poop-load 'o dough."
