Indoor antenna, connected to new converter box, connected to 1999 Zenith Combo TV. But all I get on the TV screen is Aux in the upper right-hand corner.

The connection will depend on the stations in your area. Connect the antenna to the lowest RF (coaxial) connector labeled VHF/UHF if you want to watch only the low-power NTSC (analog) stations directly from your antenna. Use the Aux RF connector (upper-most RF connector) if you use the RF out from a digital (ATSC) to analog converter box and don't plan to watch the low-power stations in your area. (If you use the component video output of a converter box, ignore the RF connections.)

If you plan to watch the low-power stations and use a converter box, connect the antenna to the VHF/UHF connector. Connect a second coaxial cable to the To Converter RF connection and connect this to the Antenna In on the converter box. Take a third coaxial cable and connect this to the Antenna Out on the converter box and to the Aux RF cable input on the TV. Press the ANT button on the original remote to switch between the converter box set to channel 3 or 4 and the low-power stations. Remember to change channels with the converter box remote for the ATSC channels. Note: the converter box is used like a cable box with some scrambled channels.

Sony has the documentation for the KF-50WE620 on the product support page: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/televisions-projectors/kf-50we620#manuals . The link to the owner's manual is currently https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/W000/W0005867M.pdf . See page 29 for the start of the antenna connections.

I hope this helps.

connect antenna to amp to converter to tv

You will not find any channels with this old TV. All channels in the USA switched to digital 1 1/2 years ago. You will need to connect a digital converter box to get any channels.

Most DTV converter boxes have 2 outputs available; RF and component video. The RF goes in between the antenna and the TV and acts as a frontend tuner. The TV needs to be set to Channel 3 or 4 (depending on the box) and left there. All tuning is then by the converter box. By the way, you need to scan for channels as part of the setup. The other method is by using the audio/video component inputs to the TV and the set would then select AUX 1 or 2 etc to get the box input, and tune via the box.

I understand your issue as not getting the Digital reception from your converter box. The antenna plays an important role in what you can get. If you still have the Amplified antenna try to reduce the amplification and readjust the antenna positions. You might have to do this several times until you get it right. Also, if you live in a city and not a rural location do not use an amplified antenna and see if it is any better.
Good Luck.

you need a stronger antenna.

yes you will. either install an outside antenna or get a good amplified indoor antenna. try your old antenna first, but when your picture freezes or it says something like " weak signal " you will need that new antenna

There are a fews ways of accomplishing this.


On the back of your converter box and TV/VCR there are two coxial connections an (OUT) and an (IN):

Step 1. Connect the coxial cable from the antenna to the (IN) connection on the back of the converter box.
Step 2. Connect one end of a spare coxial cable to the (OUT) connection on the back of the convert box.
Step 3. Connect the other end of the Coxial cable to the back of your TV.

I hope that you find this solution helpful. Please take a moment to rate tis solution.

You can hook it up through the antennae system. Keep your dvr connected to the tv the way you had it. Hook up your TV rabbit ears antennae to the converter box in the connection on the left side of the box. Then hook up the antennae lead from the converter box to your TV on the right side connector. The only thing I'm wondering is, do you get stereo sound this way and does anyone know how to get it without hooking up the separate audio and video plugs? There aren't enough connections on the tv to hook up both sets.

I have the same problem.... On the back of the tv, there are three coax spots. One is for Cable, one is antenna decoder, and another is a loop. I have had zero luck getting any of those to receive the signal. Instead i have ran my digital signal to a vcr, then ran rca cables from it to my tv. I then put my tv in vcr mode, or aux depending on where you hooked it up. You can watch tv through your vcr this way.
