DCTV outputs NTSC composite color video ONLY. You have to have a monitor
or television set of some kind to accept this input. It's a simple
RCA female connector on the DCTV unit. The 1084 with front switch 
flipped to "COMP" works fine. Cheap color teevee? Commodore 1702 C64
monitor for $50 at a garage sale?  You'll have to find SOMETHING if
you want to use DCTV.
