Modding a Receiver Question

I have an older (1990)'s Sony Receiver. Model STR-DE305 It works fine. I have incorporated it into my home system which includes TV, DVD, PC, & an ipod. I would like to change the label on the buttons by placing a sticker with the correct device ( PC / Ipod / DVD). I'm wondering if current receivers are sold with labels to adjust for various setups. Is it possible to change the display on the receiver that displays the selected function. I would also like to change that so it displays the correct device. Thank you

The rest of the issue looks delectable as well, just waiting for it to arrive.

9/11/2006

For as long as I live, like it or not, I'll remember 10:28 am 9/11/06 like it was yesterday. I remember the roar and the sight of the giant radio antenna on the last of two towers standing disappearing into the massive clouds of gray smoke. I remember the emergency room personnel at St. Vincent's out in the street waiting for survivors that never came and the clouds of gritty smoke and 8 x 11 sheets of paper blowing up the streets of Brooklyn. And then I remember the jumpers, those who'd rather jump than burn.

Madeleine Peyroux may have a new recording coming out tomorrow and I'm quite sure that has the audiophile crowd all in a tizzy but tomorrow is also the official release date of the first new recording in ten years from all time jazz great Ornette Coleman.

You can now go back to your officially sanctioned audiophile recordings.

Half the Perfect World

Forums

Madeleine Peyroux's new album "Half the Perfect World" comes out tomorrow. The samples I've heard sound superb, this might be her best work yet.

Also, Diana's Krall new album "From This Moment On" should be out soon, it also sounds great. In my opinion, though she has a good voice, her delivery has been kind of sterile in her past recordings. However, for this album I think the material just works for her. The second half of '06 is turning out to be a good one for music releases I think.

Monster Layoffs at Monster Cable!

Looks like the audiophiles have finally figured out Monster cables are NOT worth the huge cost. Monster announced drastic layoffs last week, and is sending the remains of cable production to the sweatshops of China. Funny, Noel can afford naming rights to Candlestick Park, but can't afford to pay the people that made him rich. Take it from an insider, don't buy Monster products. Not worth it!
