    Kawasaki mobile DVD system

    I recently bought the Wal-Mart version called DuraBrand. Either way, they are both made by Alco Electronics. It seems like a good system. It also plays mp3 and jpeg files. Another nice feature is the a/v input with ability to watch 2 different things at once. You could also watch a movie and...

    Best wireless remote extender - Recoton, PowerMid or Radio Shack???

    Terk makes a great RF remote extender that will allow you to use anywhere within 100+ ft of the base unit. They just started to make these again and I'm not sure if they have updated their website. I have had one for over 5 years and love it. I believe Sound and Vision had it featured in...

    RF control over HT devices???

    Oswald, The Oct. issue of Sound and Vision features the Terk (www.terk.com) "Remote Anywhere" in the new products section. I have the older version they used to make called the "leapfrog" that I think would fit your needs nicely. The system is basically two pieces: 1) a transmitter that...
