Fitting more entertainment value into less shelf space just got easier. With a DVD/VCR combo player, you get the connectivity and features without the clutter. One Touch Recording for the VCR provides a simple and convenient way to make a recording. Simply connect your DVD/VCR to your cable or satellite box and then to your monitor/TV and you are set to record a tape with the push of one button!

CyberPower products are made in the USA!!

Verified Purchase:Yes
The reason I choose CyberPower products is #1 they are totally made in the USA. When I lived in MN,(where the plant is located) I got to tour the plant. they have great customer service and they believe in their product. I recommend and suggest CyberPower to all of my customers. One of my commercial accounts had an issue with a 650va series, a phone call was made and a new one was delivered the next day along with a call tag to ship the defective one back. How's that for service?

Back up documents with this Western Digital My Passport portable hard drive. Its 1TB of storage provides plenty of room for videos, music and photos, and its 256-bit encryption and password protection keep files secure. This Western Digital My Passport portable hard drive works with Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 right out of the box.
 

Will this portable hard drive automatically back up all my files, photos, programs, etc., on my computer automatically during the day or in the evening while I'm working?

Yes it will backup at any given time but you have to setup the schedule and the computer needs to be on for the backup to work.

Router

Will a new router (and which one) extend coverage to my shop across the street from my house?
How far across the street is your router to your shop? A new router will help but you will need a range extender. check out the Netgear brand of Routers.

I need a high speed Wi-Fi router that can support 2 cell phones, two tablets, and a labtop all at the same time for under $200. Help me please?

Netgear make a good WIFI Router for around $120.00. Depending on how far away from the router you are would depend on adding a range extender and they run around $80.00.

NO! The alarm is there for a reason. Either the battery is not charging, is dead or there's another problem. It's to get your attention to get the thing fixed.

Where do I get a new Battery for this?

I'm sure my battery didn't last three years and I need a new one. What size am I looking for and where can I get one?
You can contact APC directly @ www.apc.com and after selecting United States for region next page is the home page select support and follow the info on the screen to get a battery replacement. If you registered it when you bought it APC will pro-rate the battery cost.

Can I "Trade Up" my APC UPS at Best Buy, or do I have to do it on APC's Website?

Trade UPS program
depending on how long you have had the product would be whether you can return it to Best Buy. I would check with their return policy. More than likely you will have to do it on APC's website.
