Does the Neuros MPEG-4 recorder do composite pass-through from cable box to TV when not in use?

Question

I want to buy a Neuros MPEG-4 Recorder 2 Plus. My Motorola cable box has only two outputs: Composite video (+ RCA stereo) and RF, so the Neuros would receive the signal from the cable box via composite video and RCA stereo, and it would output signal the same way to the TV.

What I want to know is: Will I still be able to watch Cable TV even when the Neuros is not in use? I mean, I'd like to make sure that it will pass-through the composite signal even when it is in "off" mode. Since it uses a remote control, I guess it must have a "stand-by" mode. I don't want to be forced to connect my TV to the cable box via RF... it is way inferior to composite.

Hi,

Yes the composite signal passes through when the Neuros is off.

There is some good info and some pretty good reviews on the Neuros on Cnet. You might find them interesting. Go here - http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-media-re...
