That sucks. I hate the see any company close up shop partially or completely. I wonder if this includes their receivers as well? I have always been impressed by their AV units. Lot of bang for the buck. I just bought a Pioener 1018 for my father this last Christmas.

*** BTW, I predict a "Pix Rant" soon along the lines of: See I told you Plasma was dead and Pioneer got what they deserved for backing a dead technology.
