If plugged into a DVD player, it senses when the power to the player is off and passes the RF signal through to the TV from the cable. A really good buy if all you need is to input a DVD or any other video/audio source to a TV that doesn't have anything but RF style cable inputs. Just what you need if your TV is older and lacks the RCA type audio video inputs. If the power to the DVD is turned on, it powers up and outputs the DVD player's signal to the TV.
Bought it, plugged it in and it's been working perfectly for many months now. It's all good. What can I say. It's small, cheap and it works.
And finally A1books (seller) policy prohibits me from returning/exchanging the open item. I understand this is likely an exception, but you have no way of finding out in advance. Tried different sources, from DVD player to camera or even a computer, all result in a well-formed, dark picture, in contrast with a clear, bright picture I was able to get through my VCR before it broke. The unit says Recoton on some of its parts but Jensen in front, and the Jensen company website does not have this product listed. Item arrived in sealed packaging but was defective once opened. Picture is watchable but dark throughout, and there is no setting on the unit to increase the brightness. I displaced the original package, and now I cannot find any contact info for Recoton company online.
The Recoton DVD647 RF Modulator has allowed me to connect both my Tivo and my DVD player to it and automatically switch between the two. My bedroom TV is very old and only has a coax input. I love this thing.
The product did everything it should but my 3 year old tugged a bit on it and easily broke the "nub" off the back where the Coax plugged into. I didn't try to return it as we only needed this modulater for 5 weeks and it isn't worth the hassle.
