See the sticky thread http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=82071 for the A1 owner's manual download in PDF format.

Apologies chris-I am new to this forum and did not realize that was there, otherwise I would have pointed users in that direction. It would have saved me some time.

I did not mention, but I have also uploaded a HVR-A1E Service Manual.pdf for download there as-well for those who are interested. It has some nice exploded views!

All those techie's out there can see exactly what's inside!
