How to connect an old tv to a converter box, and dvd player, when the back of the tv, only has for the cable?
First, get some type of modulator for the DVD player. You can use an old VCR that has an A-V input (yellow-red-white). Connect the A-V output of the DVD player to the A-V input of the VCR. If you don't have a VCR, you'll need to buy an RF modulator (example in the first link below). Then, get an A-B switch (second link below). Connect the output of your converter to the "A" port on the switch. Connect the output of your modulator or VCR to the "B" port. The common port goes to the antenna jack on your TV. You'll see the output of either the converter or the modulator on channel 3 or 4.
I got a digital converter box and now my VCR/DVD player won't work?
You will not be using the tuner in your VCR anymore. You want to connect the video output of your converter box(yellow/red/white) to the back of your VCR. This should be labeled "Input 1" or "Line in" or something similar. You will use your converter box to tune to the station you want. Using your VCR remote, change the VCR to the input you connected the converter box to. To do this you will likely push the "input" button on your VCR remote until the display reads the input you connected to. Once you do this, and your converter box is turned on and you scan for channels on it, you should see a picture. You should also be able to play VHS tapes and DVD's just by putting them in and hitting play.
How do I connect my DTV converter box to my DVD/VCR Combo to record shows?
You need to put a splitter on your antenna lead and run separate coax cables to the coax inputs on the converter and DVD/VCR. Use separate cables to connect the outputs of the converter and DVD/VCR to your TV. If your TV only has a coax input, you will need an antenna switch so you can choose between the converter and the DVD/VCR. If your TV has A/V inputs, you can connect one of them with A/V cables and the other with a coax cable. The problem with the way you currently have them set up is that when the converter is turned on (blue "cyclops" light), it outputs on analog channel 3 or 4. Since you connected the RF output to the DVD/VCR's input, the recorder can only tune the converter's output. The first answer you got said to put the splitter on the output of the converter box. This will not work because with the Insignia box turned on, only the converter output (analog channel 3 or 4) will show up. The splitter has to be installed on the antenna lead before it gets to the Insignia and DVD/VCR inputs.
How do you set up/connect an Insignia converter box when there is a video/DVD box involved?
1) connect your antenna to the RF input on the Insignia 2) then connect the RCA cables (yellow, red and white) from the output on the insignia to the video 1 input on the tv 3) change the channel on the tv to video 1 (you can also use video2 or 3 it doesn't matter, assuming you connected to video2 or 3 in step 2) 4) connect the dvd to an unused video input (2, 3 or 1) if you did that and you don't get a picture, there might be some problem with the Insignia output, rca cable, or tv inputs 5) after you get that working you can also connect a 75 ohm cable from the Insignia RF out to your tv antenna in and you can watch digital tv when your tv is tuned to channel 3 or 4 (i think you hold down the setup button on the remote to switch which channel it outputs to). If you have an old insignia then you won't be able to watch analog tv if you do this. If you have a new Insignia (with APT, antenna pass through) then everything should work.
There typically can be two reasons for black and white image:Incompatibility between color standards (PAL/NTSC)Incompatibility between connectors (S-video, composite, component)I assume the first is not an issue i.e. the VCR, the TV and the tape are from same country.Are you sure that you do not feed the signal to component input?Does it appear on the menus also and not just on playback.
How do I connect Blu-ray DVD player and TV to my new HDMI Sony entertainment system?
HDMI ports on the TV most likely only allow input, so HDMI from the TV to the receiver will not work. I understand that you have the following equipment: -Blu-ray disc player -Set-top Box w/o HDMI -Sony receiver -TV In this case, you should connect the blu-ray player to the receiver via HDMI, then the receiver to the TV via HDMI. This will allow full passthrough of full-HD video (if the TV is capable) and uncompressed HD audio (if the receiver is capable). Also, some Sony receivers upconvert analog input via the HDMI output. If your does this, then you might consider connecting the cable box to the receiver, as well. If you have an HD cable box, then your HD options (not including HDMI) would be DVI or component. If you have DVI, you can use a DVI/HDMI crossover cable to connect it to an available HDMI input on your receiver, then connect audio separately. If you have component, then there should be component inputs on the back of your receiver. If it's not an HD cable box, using composite (red, white, and yellow) should suffice. The audio outputs from the cable box, especially if it's an HD box, should at least include digital coaxial if not S/PDIF or even digital optical. These all provide about the same quality of audio w/ optical being the best option regardless just due to it's superior technology. If you have any of these inputs on the receiver, I suggest using them over red and white stereo audio cables since they will provide much better audio quality. Now, if you only ever watch TV from the cable box, you're basically done. But, if you ever watch TV from direct (basic) cable or an antenna of some sort, you will want to connect (if possible) audio output from the TV to the receiver, as well. Many newer digital displays now come with digital optical audio output as well as analog stereo audio output. Whichever is available to you, just connect the cables from the TV's audio output to an available input on the receiver. If I had model numbers or photos of the specific equipment you have, I could have been a LOT more detailed. Otherwise, this should be sufficient in getting you started. Good luck.
How do I connect an analog TV to a DVD recorder through a converter box?
Connecting a VCR, DVD Recorder, and Analog TV Using One DTV Converter Box DTV Transition Survival Tip - Using Your Analog TV, VCR, and DVD Recorder By Robert Silva The DTV Transition - The end of analog TV broadcasting has arrived. However, along with analog televisions, your VCR or DVD recorder may also be affected. If your Television, VCR, and DVD recorder only have analog NTSC tuners, and you receive your programs with an antenna, ordinarily you would need a separate DTV converter for each of them, in order to continue recording TV broadcasts on those devices now that the DTV Transition has taken effect. However, there is a way you can use just one DTV converter for all of them, with a catch. The following steps will illustrate how you can use just one DTV converter box for your Analog TV, VCR, and/or DVD recorder: 1. Connect your Antenna cable to the to antenna input on the DTV converter box. 2. Split the RF output of the DTV converter box into two separate feeds using a Two-Way CABLE SPLITTER. 3. Send one RF feed from the splitter to the antenna/cable input on the VCR and the other RF feed from the splitter to the antenna/cable input on the DVD recorder. 4. Connect the RF output feed from the VCR to the RF input connection on an RF MODULATOR. 5. Connect the AV outputs (Red/White/Yellow) of the DVD recorder to the AV inputs of the RF Modulator. 6. Connect the RF output of the RF modulator to the Ant/Cable input on your TV. 7. Connect the AV outputs (Red/White/Yellow) of the VCR to one of the AV input sets on your DVD recorder. 8. OPTIONAL: If your analog TV has a set of AV inputs (yellow, red, white) in addition to an RF input, you can connect the AV outputs (Red, White, and Yellow) of the DTV converter Box to the AV input jacks on your TV. If your TV only has one audio input jack, use a "Y" adapter to combine the Red and White connections into a single audio input connection. With this setup - you will be able to do the following: 1. Receive and Watch converted DTV channels on your TV either via accessing channel 3 or 4 on your TV or (if you also chose step 8) by using the AV inputs of your TV. The picture quality will be slightly better from the DTV converter using the AV input option, but this your choice. 2. Record converted DTV channels on your VCR or DVD recorder. Read further...
Hello, the IR remote sends a string of pulses to the IR receiver. There are different formats and coding schemas. There are the Philips code, NEC code Panasonic code. Most codes are used in company specific applications A Sony remote is therefor able to control SONY TV , Sony VCR and DVD Players but not a Panasonic unit. This allows - even if it is sometimes cumbersome - to buy products from different makers. (Or - if we think bad of the different TV makers - to make you “loyal” to their brand!)The only way to overcome this is to buy a programmable remote. Here you can either select from a list your product which you want to control or some of tese remotes have a scan mode where you have to wait until the remote has turned off the TV set. Then in most cases the valid is found, next you search the OFF command for your DVD player. In most cases you are then able to control your devices with only one remote.
