Really? That doesn't seem right to me. I don't think I've ever seen a TV with a video *output*. Neither of the TVs in my house have one, nor does my front projector.

I'm sure some TVs with video outputs exist, but I think it's a stretch to say most of them do.

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding what you're saying, though. Can you give an example of what the cabling would look like, and where the SPS-1 would go, in the following situation?

1 VCR with discrete on/off codes
1 TV with only a power toggle code
Wanted: A macro that turns the TV on if needed and starts playing a tape.

Thanks!
