2. Attach the other end of the cable to the RF “OUT” coaxial jack on the RF modulator.

How do I connect my RF adapter to my TV?

Connect a separate coaxial cable from the TO TV jack on the RF Modulator to the RF input jack on the TV. If you do not have an RF TV source, connect a coaxial cable from the TO TV jack on the RF Modulator to the RF input jack on the TV.

What do you use a RF modulator for?

RF modulators are used to convert signals from devices such as media players, VCRs and game consoles to a format that can be handled by a device designed to receive a modulated RF input, such as a radio or television receiver.

Will an RF modulator convert digital to analog?

An RF modulator takes composite (red/white/yellow) video/audio cables and converts them to analog NTSC channel 3 or 4, then passes that to the TV. They existed so you could hook up a DVD player, game console, etc to a TV that doesn’t have composite inputs.

Is coax a RF?

Coaxial cable, sometimes known as coax cable, is an electrical cable which transmits radio frequency (RF) signals from one point to another.

How many RF channels are there?

Function. An RF antenna input is usually used to connect a VCR, DVD player, antenna, cable box or other device to the television set via a coaxial cable. These thick cables usually have screw-in heads to help keep the connection secure, so most RF antenna inputs look like small screws protruding out of the TV.

Why is my TV only picking up RF channels?

The signal could be lost in the coaxial cable distribution. It is important to check regularly for corrosion, loose cable fittings, or if a cable has been compromised. Try disconnecting the splitter and running the cable directly into the TV/converter box and run a channel scan.
