In looking in my manual, it says, "This projection TV is not compatible with digital TV receivers configured with RGB or VGA output connectors." It indicates that I need Y, PB and PR jacks. Is it as simple as finding a converter box with these jacks and if so, does anybody have a source, whereby I can see which brands make these and where I can get one? Again, please speak Electronics-For-Dummies, for me! Thanks!! |
Glimmere, Welcome to the DTVUSA Forum. The simplest,but with the worst picture is to connect the converter box (
CECB) using the black coaxial cable from the antenna to the antenna input on the
CECB. Then connect the coaxial cable from the TV output of the
CECB to the antenna input on your TV.
I personally wouldn't use the above choice for my TV. I would instead recommend purchasing a Dish Network DTVPal
DVR for $249.00 here
DTVPal by DISH Network I own one and am quite pleased with it.
The Dish Network will give you high definition television using the signal received from your antenna. You connect from the Dish Network
DVR to the TV using a component cable that is included with the
DVR. Good Luck and please respond with wany questions you may have.
Your TV has 2 component inputs on the back. One for a DVD player and one for the
HD tuner.

The two component-video inputs will accept signals at 480i, 480p, 1080i, and 720p.
