Admiral TV more channels

If there are no A/V jacks on the set you can get a RF modulator. They are cheap on Ebay and work great. All you would do is plug in your A/V plugs into the RF modulator and then plug in a coaxial cable on the output of the box then plug the other end to the input coaxial cable jack on the TV. Make sure your TV is on the channel your RF modulator specifies.

How many sets RCA ports (for Video 1 / Video 2 so on and on) does your TV have?

Hi,

Are you connected to cable TV using a digital receiver? If so, your TV can only get the signal for one channel - the one you're tuned into on your receiver. A workaround is to connect the coax cable TV cable directly to your TV, as well as connecting your receiver to your TV. This will allow you to be able to change the channel on your receiver and be able to change the channel on your TV to one of the analog channels you can tune into by connecting the coax cable directly to the TV.

The easiest way to make it work is to:
1- run your cable into your new VCR to CATV IN.

2-Your VCR should have come with a short length of cable. Connect it from the OUT jack to the TV.

3- Set the TV to either channel 3 or 4- you need to check the VCR manual to see which channel you have to use. Some VCR's have a small switch labeled "channel select"- if so, set it and your TV to the same channel... your choice.

4- Leave your TV on the channel you set above all the time. You will now change your channels using your VCR. You will be able to record whatever you are watching.

Channels 2 to 69 are over the air - Antenna - channels.

Channels 2 to 125 (some duplication) are Cable channels.

There should be a way to switch your TV to Cable channels.
If it's really old there may be an Antenna/Cable toggle switch on the back of the TV.

Most newer TV's have a way to get a Menu that you can use to switch between Antenna and Cable. Check on your remote control.

If neither of those you'll probably need to buy a new TV.

Try the four zero digit code to unlock

under menu their should be a CA/TV option.

I don't recall the exact incantation, but one of the menus will allow you to change the TV from Air channels to cable. You are currently in the antenna mode. Only channels up to 12 will be even close to the cable ones. On a set of that vintage, there may even be a slide switch on the front of the set.

look to see if there is a place to put a cable cord if there is you need to hook a cable cord from the tv to the vcr and from the vcr to the tv. so you need to small cords.

Lisa, your set is switched to antenna mode, (roof top type antenna) you need to find the switch usually located inside a little door on the front of the tv and switch it to "cable" position.
If the tv is not that old than it will be located in the tv`s menu listing which is electronically set not a slide or push button, either way that`s your problem , good luck finding the switch it`s there somewhere.
