Okay. I don't know whether this answers your question, I found a link for the Pioner XW-SMC5 in the U.K. at <http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/products/archive/X-SMC5-K/page.html>
This product also seems to have been discontinued but it would be worth chasing up if you could be bothered, there might be excess stock somewhere. The XW-SMC5 seems very similar to the XW-SMC4 I have except for the addition of the DVD/CD player so now I know what the blank panels on the front of my unit are for <smile>.
