    New Pioneer SX 780 Troubleshooting

    I'm the proud owner of a lightly used Pioneer SX 780. I purchased it off of Ebay and was psyched to see it arrive today looking nearly new.

    I was walking home from work yesterday and found myself a Sanyo JCK-2600K on the curb.

I work at university, and it was...
