Is there a coaxial input on this tv? - Polaroid FLM-3701 Television

without the model number, my only suggestion would be to buy a sound bar that has a coaxial audio input.

Many new TV's do not have a standard coaxial input anymore. The industry has moved on from that and you might have to get an external tuner to get an input like that. I found an old review from 2006 and it shows the antenna input on the bottom side where the power cord plugs in. http://www.geek.com/xyzcomputing/norcent-lt-2722-27-inch-lcd-tv-571351/

If your cable box has an HDMI OUT connector you simply connect the HDMI cable to the TV and the coaxial cable from the cable company to the coaxial input on the cable box. Then select the HDMI input on the TV that matches the number of the HDMI input port you chose on the back of the TV.

If you hookup your TV directly to the coaxial cable, bypassing the cable-box, do you get a few channels? If so, then the coaxial cable is carrying a signal, which is good.

How are you hooking the output from the cable-box to the input(s) on the TV? Coaxial output port on box to coaxial input port on TV?
Red/blue/green "component" outputs on box to matching inputs on TV? Red/White audio outputs on box to red/white inputs on TV? HMDI output from box to HDMI input on TV?

You have to "tell" the TV which of the inputs:
* coaxial (with TV set to Channel 3 or 4)
* component
* HDMI
to "listen" to.

Simple. Connect the composite output from the VCR to the composite input on the back of the Presidian. Then connect the coaxial output from the back of the DVR to the coaxial input on the back of the Presidian. Then connect the coaxial output from Presidian to the coaxial input on the back of the TV. Turn everything on and enjoy! :-)

Does the SV5000 have a coaxial (Channel 3 or 4) output? Connect that output to the antenna input to the old TV. If your TV is so old that it has only a 300 ohm antenna input (2 screws), just use one those old adapters that has 2 scew lugs on one end and a coaxial receptacle on the other, connect a coaxial connector between that and the VCR's coaxial output.

gailsplaytim,
That really depends on what audio inputs you have on your tv. Your Insignia has composite audio outputs (Red and White) and digital coaxial and your tv most likely will have at least composite inputs.

The easiest way to connect your dvd to your tv is just to use the composite as you will not hear the difference in sound quality between the two through the speakers built into your tv.

If you want to run digital audio into your tv for a reason such as the tv's audio output is running to another device like a receiver and you want the digital audio to transfer, you need to look at what digital audio inputs you have on your tv. The only digital audio output on your dvd is a digital coaxial. You can buy digital coaxial converters online. If your tv for example has a toslink input, there are digital coaxial to toslink converters relativity cheap online

U have HDMI ports,order HD from the cable or telicom compannies.Use a HDMI cable for the tv,also get HD channels.Do not have HDMI ports than ur Main signal board must replaced the Antena analog coaxial it broken.Well not able to buy the coaxial input for the antena along for part.

After posting my question on Fixya, I went to www.cnet.com and found reviews on 3 systems $100-200 which had coaxial digital audio inputs.

What model and manufacturer DVD/VCR combo are you using. if it has a HDMI port, you should buy a HDMI cable to your combo player than to your HDTV (most don't have this High Definition port.)
 otherwise, it probably contains a composite port, connect the red to the red (Left) white to white (mono) and yellow to yellow (Video) than connect the wires to the matching port on your HDTV) then switch the input to AV or Composite.


If this fails, you need a coaxial cable.connect a coaxial cable to your player then to the coaxial port on your tv. change the input to "either Coaxial, Cable 3 or any input that sets it to coaxial input.
