    Ok, I'm a little upset with my purchase. I got a Sanyo DWM370 for Christmas and went to hook it up. My TV only has cable-in (bedroom el-cheapo tv)... So I figured I would be able to use the RCA's into my VCR, then to my TV (like my Dish Network connects).

    Well, the screen kept switching from the movie..to a blank screen. Ended up taking the unit back because I thought it was broke. Got another... and it did the same darn thing.

    After finding this forum, I see that there is a protection called Macrovision on the unit. What good are the darn RCA's if you can't use them?!?!?

    I had to buy a RCA/Video Modulator at Radio Shack to convert the RCA to cable TV output.

    Anyone know how to get around this mess of wires? Now I have to unhook my VCR/SAT from the TV and plug in the DVD everytime I want to watch something. There must be a better way, or a fix??

    ...signed an unhappy DVD owner!

    Look at this:

    This wouldn't trip the MacroVision. 30 bucks, it could be worse. Your mileage may vary...
