David,
Thank you for your clear explanation.? I ordered the 8 pin mini Din to RCA interface cable you mentioned.? At least I will have one more type of backup.
I do have another question...what exactly is the difference in performance between the 8 pin mini Din to RCA and the Band Switching Cable?
Will I need to switch the band manually when using the 8 pin mini Din to RCA?
Last, and this is really good news, Eva at Palstar offered to pay for shipping if we discover there is something wrong with the LA-1K.
Also they shipped the Band Switching Cable today.
So I am finally seeing light at the end of this really long tunnel!
