Trouble is, my problem with the Kenwood remote needs a fix ASAP.

oops - I guess I thought that Alex's display was a little more elaborate.

The display extension we have will work fine. Would I rather have composite video? Would I like a smaller display? YES and YES! The current controls and visuals are not important since we're using a different remote. Having basic artist, title, playlist information would be just dandy.

(My apologies to the folks that worked so hard to make the beautiful, but distracting, visuals.)

Isn't it funny that no matter how good a product is engineered, there will always be people that want to make it better - or worse by adding their own customized features. I have to wonder if the folks at empeg think that we're all just nuts and have a good laugh at our expense.
