Mitch,
Thanks again for your response. I believe your information is accurate. However, Sony's subpar support of customers with Apple computers puts me off. I have spent close to $10K on my Sony gear and see no reason that Sony can't put forth the requisite effort to ensure the best possible experience.
Another indication that Sony isn't doing everything they can for Mac customers shows up when I try to comply with your request to mark your last post "Accept as Solution". There is simply no button/link entitled as such when viewing this forum on OS X Safari. If I switch to Firefox it does appear. Hm....
