Re: [ARSCLIST] Dolby 422-B?

["Richard L. Hess" <arclists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve has it right and I checked and if it's the same guy in the UK  
they are all S-less. He claims that the S was an option. I don't know,  
but it is $900 from Dolby.

Most, but not all, from the US had S.

Just so you know, if you switch to S and the S light comes on, then it  
has the S card -- you don't need to open it up to find out.

Cheers,

Richard
