This is a bit of a twist on the purpose of this forum.

Rather than buy the components first, and then search for discrete codes, I'd like to make 'discrete code availability' a criteria in my purchase decision.

To give you an idea what I was looking for, my original thoughts were:
-Panasonic or Sony HD-ready 32" or 36" tv
-Marantz SR7200 (need 2nd zone out)
-Marantz DV4200
-Marantz CC3000
-StarChoice or ExpressVu satellite (located in Canada)

I've read that Yamaha has extensive discrete codes, but are these accessable by a "regular" user?

I'm open to suggestions for any of the components. They don't *have* to be brand matched--but it is an added bonus.

Thanks,
Dave
