If so, then the answer is 1 or 2. Either one is OK. Converting from analog to digital? Not sure what you'd connect that puppy to. :) -Dave

If the converter box has composite output (RCA connectors, yellow, red, white / video, right audio, left audio), then you plug those three connectros into the back of your TV or VCR where it says "video in / audio in".

It does not connect to one 'or' the other. Without more details of what the A to D converter is and what analog and digital devices you have, any other suggestion is purely speculative. Best Paul.

I have yet to see these at department stores. Consumer columns suggest doing this this summer when availibility will be better and avoid the last-minute rush. If youa re gambler, I would be surprised if this is a popular Black Friday 2008 rush at zero cost with rebate.
