FS: Sony TA-E9000ES 5.1 channel DD/DTS preprocessor

[Sami]

Great condition preprocessor, comes with original remote. Asking $275 plus shipping. Trades for 2ch preamp considered also. Pictures later tonight.

Cheap way to upgrade into separates from a receiver/amplifier combo. The only negative I can think of is that it lacks 5.1 channel analog inputs, and video switching.

Hi Sami,
Does this decode DPL 2?

[Sami]

I don't think it does. Never had use for DPLII myself. It's firmware version 1.10, I have seen mentions that the firmware upgrades might have had DPLII but I don't know if it ever was put in there.

The firmware page seems to be offline so I can't check either.

Ok, managed to load the firmware page, no mention of DPLII, only DPL.
