get close to my 30 day evaluation period , and I be not sure if I 'll return it to Amazon ; thing be , I have not even be able to use it , since I can not figure out how to connect everything . Problem be , the manual only show the most basic or common connection setup , assume everyone have the same , generic hookup situation . no guidance in manual for the following : 1 . my cable box have no hdmus output , so I be not sure how to connect tv signal : the manual say nothing about connect it to you tv if you do not have hdmus , except the cryptic diagram show dmport adapter input into a tv 's Video input ; 2 . anyway , I do not have the `` Digital Media Port adapter '' show diagram in the manual , so I can not use that dmport to output signal to my tv , as show in the manual -lrb- pg 20 -rrb- ; 3 . Manual also mention plug in a ipod cradle into this dmport , but that would make it a input port , not a output like show on pg 20 ; so what be it ? this dmp adapter they refer to numerous time be not even show on Sony 's website nor on Amazon anywhere . and why do not they tell I that I need this adapter to connect it to the video input of my tv ??? what a lousy way to put together a user manual for a complex piece of equipment . of course there be no help number to call Sony to ask they what they intend for these situation . anyone have any idea ? my return time be run out . thanks .
