Warning: Many of our competitors, who are not authorized to sell the CMD series video converter, advertise the model but they will ship you KDV-5000 instead, not the CMD-1200, CMD-1500 or CMD-850. The KDV-5000 looks similar but has inferior conversion quality and does NOT have audio connections. So there will be audio lag during the conversion. Be aware of companies like this!
Our Video Converter Guarantee: We guarantee that the CMD-850 is an excellent video converter! Find a better video converter, that we do not sell, for even twice the money and we will give you a 110% refund! Plus we will pick up the return shipping fees too! None of our competitors can say that! Click here to buy one today!
