New DVD and Photo Store in One = Fotobar

G'day all,

Just before Copeton we changed tvs from an Orion VCR/TV combo to a LCD Screen which lost us the ability to play tapes for the kids.

I was going to mount a seperate DVD player in the BT to play their DVDs ....video connected via A-V into lcd screen and audio in Alpine system in BT via AUX input. All standard stuff !!!

While telling a mate yesterday he said "Hang on I got something in the car you might like !". He came back with one of these !!!

Have a look at ...

Its called a Fotobar ... and does the following plus more (see site for full features) plays DVDs ...has a docking port for all storage media e.g. Smart Media from camera. A CD burner ... which means I can remove media from camera and plug it into Fotobar ..place in a blank CD and press one button and it burns contents of media onto cd. Media is now empty to place back into camera. I will finally have a large photo storage ability.

For me this is a great way to store pics whilst in BT (no laptop) and I get to play DVD's output to lcd screeen ...Unit is fully portable and about the size of a modem !
Cost was (mate paid) $350 +GST + delivery = $400 approx

Check out what you get in the kit ...full of leads ..charger ...carry case etc

Anthony
