PRODUCT FEATURES

PRODUCT COMPOSITION

So, you are getting interested and want to know what you get hardware wise with your ~US$250 dollar purchase.

This flashy box should get your attention at your local retailer.

Included as accessories is a package containing a remote control, the usual warranty registration and users manual, batteries (nice feature, most manufacturers don't include), a composite video and audio cable and a quick connect coaxial cable.

Last, but definitely not least, you will have this stylish unit to add to your entertainment system.

PRODUCT INSTALLATION, SETUP & HOOKUP

To some people, the installation of an entertainment system component can be a daunting task, especially if they are a person that is a member of the "technically challenged" population. But, hooking up this unit is really quite simple and you should have this unit up and playing in no time flat.

Turning the unit around, you will be introduced to the unit's connection panel's.

For the majority, this will be the panel used to connect their cable TV's coaxial cable and the composite cables for connecting to your TV if it has composite inputs. If you own an older TV without the red, white and yellow composite connectors, you CANNOT connect to your TV with the coaxial cable. You unfortunately will have to buy a electronic component called a RF Modulator that will combine the composite connectors into a coaxial signal similar to your Cable TV cable. You can buy these at Radio Shack online in the U.S. or if you are in Canada you can buy them HERE.

If you are fortunate enough to have a newer TV with the three composite inputs, simply connect from the composite output on the DVD player to the input jacks on your TV and you are now setup for VCR and DVD playback.
