Amazon.com Item Description:
RCA's CRF940 is the perfect accessory for managing competing devices on televisions with minimal inputs--not to mention enjoying DVD players or other audio/video components through older, non-'cable ready' television sets. The CRF940 accepts video inputs from four separate source components in three separate formats (one RF and four each composite-video and S-video) and routes their AV signals through its tri-format AV outputs. One of the CRF940's four sets of AV inputs is built into the front panel, facilitating spontaneous hookups of camcorders, VCRs, video game players, or other devices.

This would also be a fine asset for transferring S-VHS video or camcorder content to an older VCR lacking the requisite composite-video (yellow RCA jack) or S-video (black five-pin) inputs. Accompanying sets of stereo analog (left/right) RCA audio inputs handles the source sound.

The unit's gold-plated audio and video connectors ensure maximal conductivity and minimal corrosion so you can set it and forget it--the terminals won't need cleaning for two years. A VCR-like output switch lets you select channel three or four for your TV viewing when using the RF output, and a red front-panel LED indicates power status. A supplied AC/DC adapter plugs into the rear-panel DC input jack.

What's in the Box
Switcher, AC power adapter, and an instruction sheet.

Rating: - * Works great, needs better instructions ... Initially, I had the same problem described by others of it turning itself off after a second (this is because the antenna function apparently needs no external power, and that is what it defaults to). However, after looking carefully at the pictures and those of a similar Magnavox product, I realized the problem is that the first set of plugs are actually for the output, not video 1. Once I turned around my my cables, it worked fine. This is a very easy to use device. If only it had better instructions! Rating: - * A waste of money ... I have puchased 3 of these converters\, three different times hoping that one would work. THEY ARE A WASTE OF MONEY -- huge disappointment, time and money Rating: - * Worked Great for Me ... I must have bought this little device 2 years ago. It's worked great for me - no problems, no issues, it's just worked. Newer models appear to have features I'd like that this one doesn't have - auto switching on to the last device that was turned on, or ports for component video (the cable that have seperate Red, Green, and Blue cables). But if you're ok with that, I've had great experience with this unit. Rating: - * It's a dud! ... I boughr one at Best Buy, hooked it up, and discovered it wasn't getting power. Just a brief flash of the power lamp. Exchanged it for another, with the same results. Might be a bad batch, but I'm looking for something else! Rating: - * Works great at a great price. ... This item does exactly what it says. Nice selection of inputs and outputs. This is the second one I have purchased, one for each of the kid's rooms, and my kids can operate them without any problem.
