I got this "system" for my Birthday in January .... since hooking it upto the S - VHS port of my Apex TV set, I've found this Curtis unit to be the Wonkiest piece of Junk since my 1st car ... a Rambler .... If this is the Best that Curtis can do, I'm fairly certain that it Isn't the best that Another Maker can do .... No More Curtis in This House !!
