1996 20" Sanyo + RF Mod + Brand New DVD/VHS Combo
I don't remember the brand of the DVD/VHS, but here's what happened.
I hooked up the items in the subject at my friend's house. I set the channel on the RF modulator and the Sanyo TV to 3(our local null spot). I turn on the cable box and TV, picture/sound fine. I turn on the DVD combo, weird squirrely lines march across and sound is interrupted by a buzzing. I double checked all my connections, then tried again. Same mess. I called our local Circuit City and they walked me through my connections over the phone. No results. I explained that I had everything set to 3 or 4 the way I was supposed to, but the guy said something like "It doesn't work that way, try tuning your TV to channel zero." Zero - WTH?! I told him our TV can't tune in zero, and he replied "Sorry, there's nothing I can do for you. You can bring the modulator back for refund or x-change". One interesting note about this particular DVD combo. The user manual states that it cannot be viewed over RF(antenna)cable attached to your TV. You must use RCA line jacks to a TV equipped with same, or an RF modulator to an older TV(like my friend's). Any clues about the RF modulator and that channel zero business? thanks, ChrisCoaster |
