<DIV>Hi Delle</DIV>

<DIV>Bill can certainly address this more authoritatively than I can, but I can
point out that you are a decade off in your comment about digital. The AVR
was a ‘69 design, not ‘79. As to the audio track format, I understood it
was simply to maintain compatibility with standard quads.</DIV>

really want are the 1 inch C masters. Remember that MTV air playback was from
ACR25’s with split track stereo – not exactly HiFi either. But those masters are
probably all in the vaults of the record companies and hopelessly tied up in
royalty issues.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style='FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Courier New"; COLOR: black'>Why didn’t
they (Andy Setos) go with an FM audio system on the ACR25 versus the split
track? That would have been higher quality and as for the edit issues with FM
audio, this was air playback only. And I think you could even squeeze in 14bit
digital audio in the lower RF spectrum below 3mhz but perhaps not in
1979.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
