The antenna hooks up at the antenna in coaxel hook up in the back. Same place your cable would hook up to. If you use this for your cable box instead of hdmi then you'll need a cable splitter to attach both.
Try selecting the AIR/ANTENNA instead of CABLE in the on-screen menus. Do a scan for all channels. Make sure the input cable is secure and tight in the jack. You need a VHF/UHF antenna and try different positions of the antenna and redo the scan. Make sure you have selected the ATSC tuner as most TV air stations now are digital ATSC. The TV could be at fault/need to be repaired if nothing works or you could be too far away from any digital TV stations given the antenna you have. Possibly get a bigger antenna.
Well you can follow the below steps - 1. Inspect the antenna for any signs of damage. Identify and examine the power adapter cord and the coaxial antenna cable for any rips tears or other defects. 2. Plug the adapter into the antenna's power adapter socket. It will be labeled "12V DC/Adapter". If you are using an antenna that does not require power, such as rabbit ears, you may skip this step. 3. Next connect the antenna cable to the television using the TV's "Antenna In/75 Ohm" input jack. Make sure the antenna connector is twisted tightly into place. Place the antenna on a sturdy surface such as the top of an entertainment center. If you have an older analog TV that is a non high definition ready/capable display and are using a digital to analog converter box, generally, the antenna will plug into the input of the converter and the output of the converter will plug into the antenna input of your TV. 4. Plug the antenna's power supply into a 120V AC wall outlet. This will turn the antenna on. If you are using the "rabbit ears" style antenna, make sure that the each section of the antenna is fully extended. This will give you the best reception. 5. Turn on the TV and check for digital reception. You will know that you are receiving digital signals because the picture will be clear and free of any analog "snow" or other artifacts. Digital TV channels have DVD quality picture and sound.
You don't need a digital antenna; any indoor UHF/VHF antenna will work. The antenna and the TV both connect to the converter box, not to each other.
A standard
rabbit ears (UHF/VHF) antenna with flat wire (300 ohm) connections can be hooked up to the coaxial cable that goes to the Antenna (RF in) jack on the converter box by using a balun (Radio Shack catalog # 15-1297, about $8). If you have an antenna with coaxial cable already attached, you don't need the balun.
To connect the TV to the converter box, you need an adapter that has an F jack on one end and a
1/8" plug on the other (Radio Shack catalog # 278-257, about $5). The
1/8" plug on the adapter goes in the external antenna jack on the TV, and
the other end connects to the coaxial cable that goes to the TV (RF out) jack
on the converter box.
Out to tv connects to your input or where the antenna for the tv is located. If you have an antenna hooked to you tv, remove it and hook in the vcr. Then put the antenna to input on the vcr.
if the telescopic antenna is broken you cant solder it, but you can buy a replacement antenna,some scanners have an antenna that just screws into the circuit board through a hole in the top of the case,or you can get a telescope antenna that will attach to antenna jacks on the back of the set if it has those, which im sure that model does. Antenna jacks came come in several types , one is called a BNC which just pushes in and turn about half a turn to lock in place,also some scanners have the type of jack like the back of a car radio, with those you just push them in and you can find telescopic antennas with the auto type plug at a 90 degree angle that will work fine.If you need more help let me know
There are two ways of solving this problem 1.It seems to me that you need an RF Modulator Box. What this does is convert the RCA cables (Yellow,White,Red cables) into coax. You buy the box then plug you antenna and RCA cables into the box. The box has a coax output that goes to your TV. You can then switch from VCR\DVD to antenna.
2. I dont know if your VCR/DVD has it but try hooking up your antenna to the VCR coax INPUT and then hook up your TV to the coax OUTPUT. Both Coax INPUT and Coax OUTPUT should be on the back of the VCR/DVD device. Your going to need an extra Coax wire for this.
if the co ax is damaged on the tv use the dvd to tune rf from antenna and feed in from front av in
