 |
|
Hi,
The Coax input on my Sony KV32S42 isn>t working. I can watch DVDs by
connecting my DVD player to the S-video input but I get only snow when
I connect my VCR or my cable line to the Coax input. I>m hoping this
is something I can fix myself but I>m not at all knowledgeable about
TV repair so I need some direction.
Thanks.
S. |

Have you tried going thru the tuning /channel search function?
have you checked the thing is set to UHF /VHF/cable reception (as
needed)? |

The TV has to be set to the coax input, or you won>t see anything.
The VCR and the TV have to be set to the same channel. VCRs with a coax
output should have a switch on the back to select channel 3 or 4. |

Because if it was set to ANTENNA as opposed to cable, he would still be able
to watch his VHS tapes and the first 13 channels. It>s obvious that the
tuner is not functioning correctly. |

Nowadays most HD-DVD players (VCR!? very last century..) do not even
have remodulators anymore.
HDMI - or old skool Scart / S-Vhs is the only upstream connection. |

Yup. I did try channel search and I triple-checked that the input on
the TV was set to Cable in the menu setup. |

I tried running the Cable directly to the Coax input on the TV and
through the VCR -- neither works, regardless of what channel the TV
and VCR are set to. I>ve tried both channel 3 and channel 4 and I>ve
confirmed that both the TV and VCR are set to the same channel.
Oddly, I can watch DVDs through the S-video input on my TV/RCA audio
inputs. |
