I have to connect the vcr/dvd combo to an older tv set! Before this, there was a vcr here and only two wires leading from it to the tv! Wish I was more techy! What if I don’t have a cable box?

Lazarus Mon, 07 Sep 2009 19:22:20 +0000 /?p=794#comment-146055 I just rearranged our TV's and DVD players. The daewoo DVD player won't work on our old Zenith even with a RF modulator. I tried all kinds of combinations and it won't work. The DVD player does work on our 2 newer TV's but it won't even work on older model tv that has the right kind of av jacks. I'm not sure what's left to try? Any suggestions anyone? I just rearranged our TV’s and DVD players. The daewoo DVD player won’t work on our old Zenith even with a RF modulator.

It has 2 screws to hook up uhf antenna and one hook up for vhf antenna. Would an rf modulator let me hook up a vcr, dvd, and satellite to my outdoor uhf antenna? I would like to know how to hook all these up. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your help. I have an rca xl 100 console tv.

I have an old (analog) tv and an old JVC vcr. I have an RF cable going from my tv to the vcr. However, when I try to watch movies, the picture won't come in clear while I'm playing the VHS video. If I pause the movie, it's clear, but then when I hit "play" it gets fuzzy again. Audio is great and comes through my tv but video is horrible. I thought about a splitter and I cannot for the life of me, figure out what kind of splitter to get. There's a ton of different kinds out there. I'm missing something, but I don't know what it is....and yes, I'm a female trying to hook something back up that hasn't been used in 13 years. I would appreciate any kind of help I can get.

It might be worth trying other universal remotes. As far as I know they're supposed to work with all TVs.
