connect 2 together? Does anyone know if the AV I/O mini jack can be connected to another machine's to show the same movie on both?

Check out the instruction manual carefully. Theoretically this should be a breeze if you have the right cables (mini jack out to the red, white yellow then using rca couplers back with the same cord to the other player). However, here's the rub. Most players turn off the LCD when you use the A/V out jack.

In fact I ordered 3 of them and am suposed to hook them up to 3 mac minis but when I tried to do that I had the same problem. The solution is to use HDMI cord. It is supposed to be for videos but that will work. I am travelling and still have not hooked up mine. Best of luck

Has anyone tried an HDMI connection from a computer into his receiver? I'm considering hooking up a Mac Mini to it and using media server software to send it audio and video.

I haven't tried that setup specifically, but I do not see why that wouldn't work. The ports all switch together so their is no knowledge by the unit that you are not using the video ports.

Robert, this is an interface adapter only, I did not connected it to Blu-Ray drive, but I recomend you to find another adapter with the power Jack separated. God bless you.

I use the optical connection from my TV. So two other inputs are available, RCA type right and left and a minijack. So if your bluray can adapt to either of these two inputs, the answer is yes.

They automatically work together but I can't get it to work together to watch on computer only when I watch it on the camera its self will it play both

It sounds like you need to just get a converter box that'll convert one to or from the other. They're usually available from most electronics/video stores.

This system will be too slow. Ethernet cannot send enough data for a movie to play well. The system will hangup. You are better off using separate hard disks connected to each TV. Just make a copy of each disk.

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee

We took ours to Best Buy and they did a great job of installing it. You do have to buy an extra cable if you want both to play the same DVD at the same time though. It was pretty cheap I think though

buy the cinema display here on Amazon. I don't think there is any other way too do it...ahh! You could also use the mini VGA port adapter. VGA port is below your audio output jack.

I have not found this to be possible - only two at a time.I typically do 2 DVI or 1 DVI + HDMI.

I did have 2 cards installed and used them simultaneously. I was using HDMI for both inputs. I have since pulled out one card and using the BM Decklink Quad and one Decklink Mini. Tim

The unit itself only comes with one DVD player that links to the 2nd monitor. So out of the box, no you can't watch two different DVDs at once. However you can hook up a 2nd portable DVD player to the 2nd monitor (not included in the original purchase) and then play a 2nd DVD. Hopefully that helps.

No you can not. One unit has an actual player built in and then just connects to the other monitor.
