Just bought a Dazzle 90. What else do I need?

[brumans]

Hi,

I just bought a Dazzle 90 today online.. but I am confused as to what else I need to get the device working. What other wires/cords/ANYTHING do i need to get the most out of the device. Someone said i needed a 3.5 male - male cord for audio, but i'm not completely sure yet.

I want to use the device for capturing video from my xbox, capturing live tv, and converting VHS to avi/dvd/mpg.

So what all would I need?

Thanks

how does that help me

Your are going to need the RCA cables...or the s-video cable and the red and white RCA cables for audio.

Does that help?

so it sounds that this Dazzle unit is not good by the comments

Be sure and give it a try since you have it. People with negative comments can sometimes come across a little stronger than is justified. It may be fine for what you are doing.

I have the Dazzle 150 which gets some negative comments too but I am quite happy with it.

Did you get the device with no software or instructions? If so try here:

You need the receipt for when you purchased this crap. Get in your car and proceed without stopping anywhere and get your hard earned cash back, please!
