hutch Unregistered guest | hi, i am using the yellow cable (and audio ones) to directly connect a dvd player to my tv. I know that it has video capabilities, one the remote it says video and it is just a reset. some of the set up says video monitor. I do not have the tv manual. I know there some way to get to the right channel for video because i have done so in the past but i do not remember how. please help thank you! |

The RF modulator has RCA input jack for you to connect the video out from a DVD player, RF input connector for your antenna and RF output connector to connect to the RF antenna input on the TV, and audio RCA in/out jacks for the audio stereo signal from the DVD player. You can select either channel 3 or 4 to watch the video signal from the DVD player or you can switch to antenna to watch the loacal/cable channels. |

Zap Unregistered guest | Is the XL100 one of those that you go to channel zero(00)? |

Martha H. Unregistered guest | As Kevin J. said, you apparently need an RF modulator to connect the DVD player directly into the TV. But one of the sites I googled said that my VCR is/has a modulator, so I tried connecting the red, yellow, white connections between the DVD player and the VCR. Once I set the Channel on the VCR player to Line, the DVD player worked great. So if you have a VCR player, that's an option. |
