I got this yesterday and maybe I'm looking at this wrong - but where is the power suppy? It has the yellow, white and red cables that plug INTO something... I'm guessing the red plug goes into a power supply???

You are correct!! The red is power, white is audio and yellow is video. You'll need a 9-12 volt power supply with the right size mini plug. The center should be positive and the outer is negative. I would recommend 500ma or more!

There is a power supply that comes with the device. I was worried about the same thing since it wasn't shown. But it did arrive in the packaging.

The power supply is included. I think the power supply hooks on the transmitter section. I put it in the factor where I work and am at home now and can't check. Thing has been running 24/7

power supply must be purchased separately and plugs into red lead. Yellow is video and white is audio.

yea, it's stupid. i was just as dumbfound as you. unfortunately you have to buy your own power cord. at least the seller should mention that it doesn't come with a power cord, but they don't.

I had bought that same thing and when I got it found out it wasn't all there. They do sell the power supply cord at most walmarts or you can return what you have and get the complete kit. I also believe they sell the cord on amazon for 2.97 plus shipping. Look in the same spot where you found the power adapter

Mine came with the actual power cable. I'm not sure why it says that. It has what you need.

You know, my power supply burned up on the first or second use ... and I threw the whole thing in the trash ... no instructions at all ... I did connect it but it did not read a drive before the burnout .... so, if I remember correctly, they included 2 connectors ... one for STATA and one for IDE ... so you don't use all of the cords ... but since I no longer have it, I could be wrong [sorry, I was very disappointed in it].

The small cord seen in most of the pictures is just a small cord to connect the USB. The actual power supply is a separate power brick with a three foot cord. See this picture from the listing for all the cords and such included in the package: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61Cix2jeLoL._SL1000_.jpg

This isn't an answer, but clarifying the question, since I have the same problem. I expected two cables - a red and a white to go from L/R audio out on the TV to L/R audio in on the box. What I GOT with the unit was ONE cable, split into R/W (two plugs) on one end and with only ONE plug (black) on the other end. So how do we connect four ports with the three plugs? This has nothing to do with the power supply. Thanks!

Negative Batman. The picture depicted with this is slightly deceptive as it is not an actual picture of the PSU. Actually a lot about this is deceptive, no 120/240 switch like it seems there might be in the picture, also the "cable management" part is also not really accurate, when I read that I think of this: http://tiny.tw/3eo3 but that's not what this PSU is. Otherwise it's pretty good. Been happy with it otherwise.

I am waiting to return mine. It didn't serve the purpose for which I bought it. There was no mention that it does not come a power cable. No installation manual. In other words, I have not used it, in the first place.

Are you plugging the yellow cable in the green input? Just a suggestion off the top of my head :)
