Thanks for that Thranx. The other issue is that when we made the decision, there wasn't alot of startup capital there for additional equipment and so it was also a budgetary issue, not to mention that I live in Australia, not the EU, and I don't even know if the tax issue even applied here. Besides section 71 of the Australian Trade Practices Act states:
-The goods must be fit for their purpose. That is, they should do what they are supposed to do and be suitable for any purpose that you might have made known to the supplier.
-The goods must match the description you were given or the sample you chose from.
Furthermore theses conditions must not change within a reasonable amount of time. As per the statutory warranty.
Clearly the lesson here is to stear clear of Sony just as you would any other disreputable company.
