Requirements:
1. Broadband Connection to Internet.
a. VideoReQuest does not have a built in database, therefore, it requires a
consistent Internet connection.
b. If dialup is the only option for internet connection, please refer to
AudioReQuest Network Guide 2: Dial Up Album Lookups that uses the
Netgear RM356 Modem Router.
c. If the Internet is down while DVD's are loaded into the changer then the
VideoReQuest will add them to a list and will look them up when connected
back to the Internet.
2. 1-4 Sony DVP-CX777ES 400 Disc DVD Changers.
a. The DVD changers need to be installed close to the VideoReQuest because
serial cable lengths should not exceed 10' AND should be plugged into the
same circuit as the VideoReQuest.
b. The Sony DVD changers are available through ReQuest Multimedia if you
are not a Sony ES Dealer.
c. Please refer to the Switching section of this Installation guide as different
methods allow for fewer than 4 changers.
3. Video and Audio Cables.
a. Video and Audio cables are not included with the VideoReQuest.
