In regards to CDTV advertizing, I have here two official CBM
documents from the VP of sales to authorized dealers stating,
"Those of you interested in selling the CDTV player should note
that it may be sold through outbound sales efforts only.  This 
means exhibiting the machine on your showroom floor or 
advertising the product will be strictly prohibited." 

And,"Start that 'word of mouth' campaign early."

Now this sounds a little weird to me, why doesn't CBM want
dealers to advertise this thing?  Seems to me that a combo of
'word of mouth' and commercial advertising, or whatever works 
for the dealer to move the product would be best.

Does anyone in the know that can talk about it wish to 
enlighten us?
