Upper Channel Limit RCA 13 inch TV set - Model EMR341WR
Good Day:
My 13 inch RCA TV set (manufactured in 1987) has a great picture on all channels from 2 through 64. For reason(s) unknown to me, the set will not tune in channels higher than channel 64, while all other sets of (newer TV sets mind you)in the home do. For example, channel 74 is pure static when I attempt to tune it in. The integrity of the coaxial cable line is fine as it tuned properly when tested on other sets in the home. 1. Is my set (model EMR341WR) capable of tuning in more than 64 channels? 2. If yes to above, what repair advice have you? Many thanks. Dave |

I have one in the bedroom. It's also not remote-capable, so the VCR works great as a tuner. I have to get up off my butt to change the volume, though. :-) Tom |

If it does, try connecting the cable to the UHF input. If it works, use a splitter to connect the cable to both inputs. Cable channels 65-94 are the same as UHF channels 14 and up, so it uses the UHF part of the tuner for these cable channels. Andy Cuffe |
