The only time I use penthouses is if the projector in question has that poor of a soundhead design that neither optical nor digital should be played on it. On crappy projectors, I can understand the penthouse desire but for 95% of the projectors I deal with, I'll take a basement reader every time. I never loose sleep over them either and don't seem to have problems with them. So far, Component Engineering, Kelmar and Kinoton all have excellent systems that have performed very well for me. Another advantage of the basement reader, with it comes the reverse scan reader and the #@RQ$^%# red light reader. Steve ------------------ "Old projectionists never die, they just changeover!"

Pete, the LED is on the Video power supply, that normally powers the CCD. It is just a parisite on it. Futhermore, BACP uses less current on their LED and claim to have a substantially longer life than previous designs.Back to the basement reader vs penthouse...if the tech can't get the basement reader to be as reliable as the penthouse on such projectors as Simplex, Century or Kinoton, then get a new tech, the one you have shouldn't be allowed to work in the trade.
