[slinkelist] New DVD 300 disc players...

[Colby Boles]

None of these units are going to work. They don't allow Control-A1 II
control over the changer. Control-S is basically wired IR and so you can
really do anything more than you can with a remote. Without being able to
talk back to the Slink-e, you won't be able ID the discs or any of that good
stuff.
