technicals-- will change FAST month to month..any unit runs and at only about 10 bucks in cash money using the COUPONS, which expire 90 days after issue but in reality 60 days after receipt. Retailers use the coupons like credit card entries which means the new gen crooks buy a unit with a credit card, use the coupon and then return the convertor for a extra 40.00 that goes right back on their CC account.. just like free cash!!! Philco has the best tested video and audio but not through cable out.. use the RCA video and audio composite for best result. DON'T wait too long to apply for coupons.. The Federal money allocated is not going to be there forever. Get yours now, have your CATV neighbor apply fo his later this year(he will then give to you) I got my Philco at my local Meijer store under 50 .. Watch out for Online on these the ship can eat you up- remember its only 10 buck cash out of your pocket bought locally.. be patient.

Well i havent used it for a while but you could you would just need to go to the local electronics store and get a few converters

If you mean analog A/V input port(s)...I wish, but sorry, not a chance. These days, you probably have to buy Pro gear for that. More cost effective, though, might be to buy one of those A/V-to-USB converter kits (Roxio, etc.).

could you please check and tell me what's the rating for the external DC supply ? Vdc ? and current rating (mA)?appreciate your help.thx

Natively, you can not. That doesn't mean that you can't use it with a converter, and with that, I would make no guarantees as to the quality of the electrical current that you would be using, or the impact on the device itself. I hope this helps..

I used the sunforce ac/dc power convertor. available from Amazon. Works great and I have used one for my Winegard Dish power supply for several years.I get great boost from my attic antenna and direction pointing is a snap. Can't to test it on my RV

I've had good luck with D cables (dcables.net), very good quality and low price cables and adapters. (I needed a DVI to HDMI adapter [$9.99] for my Dish HD DVR)

I own this. The V90 is a much better delivery platform for USB and Digital. It is a true DAC. It was also added to the Sterophile List of recommended components.

I'd probably go with the DTA-100. I use the DTA-1 to power an 8ohm subwoofer, and it works, but is pushed to the limit.

www.ntia.doc.gov/dtvcoupon will have a $40 coupon starting on January 1 2008 to subsidize getting this kind of converter box. I could really use one now.

We have sold both units you're asking about for years and they are both wonderful! Both have good pre-amps and are built well. And both work well with all of the current DAWs. Don't stress, either will serve you well!

I think someone is giving an idea that I've found little merrit. Cassette2USB is a good product, especially the converter, records both directions without manually turning tape, software OK on my W7. I Think Digitope Digitalizer is over rated for any OS. Try Cassette2USB for $59.99 at cassette2USB.com . I like it and the converter is worth that alone even with another product such as Magix Cleaning Labs. Several options, I like Cassette2USB the best, but the others have their place as well.

Yes, it depends on the source. If the source can read the format and send the digital via optical, the D/A converter will work.

I'd take it to a local travel store and see what they recommend. Should just be a standard converter. We recently bought a universal converter for our upcoming trip to Europe! Have a nice time!

I'd have to disagree with this. No laptop out I've ever tried is able to convert digital to analog signal cleaner than a dedicated DAC like the E7 can. The DAC in a laptop only costs a few cents and is subject to noise in the laptop enclosure.

Thanks. Seems like each of these makes has its quirks. I just gave away on old (4 years) Toshiba DVD recorder that did OK for its time, but the menus were very unintuitive, and the manual was in broken english. I guess I could always pick up a D-R410 at Fry's and if I don't like it, return for the Panny when it's in stock. Fry's also has a Sony RDR-GX360 for the same price as the Panasonic, and it seems to have the same ins/outs and upconversion, but I can only find one user review out there and it was bad. I hear that Sonys are picky about the DVD brand you use, plus they're the "source" for the industry restrictions on recording HD, so I don't want to support them. Thanks.
