Subject: RCA Digital Command Center<br />
On a related matter, I was looking at the scans of the owners manual to the<br />
SKT-400 and noticed that the DIgital Command center in there is different<br />
(slightly) from the one I have.<br />
Mine does NOT have a Disk button, but rather has "TV" VCR" "AUX" "AM/FM"<br />
"PHON" "TAPE" and "CD"<br />
Also, instead of the "0" button saying "Aux" over it (as it does in the<br />
SKT-400 manual) mine says "Input"<br />
Thanks again and any help is appreciated.<br />

Marlin:<br />
When RCA introduced the original CRK 32 Digital Command Center in late 1983<br />
there were only three mode buttons on the upper left, but RCA had the Dimensia<br />
Integrated Component System under development, so space was left to add<br />
additional mode buttons. When Dimensia was marketed about a year later (after<br />
the <strong>CED</strong> cancellation announcement), the DISC button was renamed VID2, but it<br />
continued to function as a DISC button to control a 400 series player. Due to<br />
the layout of the circuit board inside these first generation Digital Command<br />
Centers, the third button from the left on the top row will always function as a<br />
DISC mode button.<br />
But you may have noticed that the CRK 42 units you have are missing the third<br />
button from the left. There's just an empty spot where the button should be.<br />
This was a strange thing for RCA to do, since the PAGE, BAND, and SEEK buttons<br />
specific to interactive <strong>CED</strong> usage are still labeled on the unit. The good news
