why does it have a touch screen again?
get up off of the sofa ans walk across the room
to interact with the touch screen.. that is so
stupid!!
the duet model had it right put the screen in
the remote... the device that attached to your
stereo only needs to be a headless box.
they didn't thing that one through... man,
that's dumb and useless!!
Well...
