- This is simply not true. Turn on the CDTV, leave the monitor off. Plug in
- an audio-CD. Hit Play on the front panel of the unit and the track number
- will appear beside the clock and will stay displayed there and updated
- through the time you're using it.

- What? Interesting. My CDTV's fan is definitely not as loud as A2000s that
- I've used. Maybe this is something they've fixed in later models then?
