How do i hook up my haier plasma monitor to basic cable?

OK! First, you have NO TUNER in that model. It's called a monitor. You have to use a cable box, satellite receiver or use an older style vcr with a tuner in it. With the vcr you won't see HD stations that broadcast in HD. You will see the old style analog.

This plasma is only a monitor meaning they do not have a tuner, so it doesn't have a cable hook up. If you want to receive over the air channels, if you live in the USA, you will need a digital converter decoder or if you have cable/satellite suscription you will need a cable/satellite decoder box to receive the channels.
The way to connect any of the mentioned devices to your plasma is to use the yellow, red and white cables to the input of the TV and select input 1 or video 1.
If you live where you can still receive over the air analog channels, a VHS should work.
Let me know if you require further assistance.

Dod you use HOTKEYS on the laptop to tell it to send the signal the VGA outlet of the laptop? The hotkeys function can be set to turn off the laptop screen and only have external monitor to be the only display or it can be set to have both of them on.

this is a monitor plasma tv and it will need some type of tuner to bring the cable channels down to the audio/video jacks or the composite video jacks(blue/red/green) you can use a cable ready vcr to input the video in tv jacks and hook up the cable in to your vcr rf input.

you just need a VGA Cable from your computer to your Plasma, make sure you get the proper cable, male to male or male to female.

Greetings 4mother,

It would really depend on what type of hook up you are using. Most of the time a plasma television would be hooked up with either and HDMI or component cables. Your local store should be able to make a solid recommendation based on the items hooked up to your television such as cable or satellite box, dvd player, etc.

I hope this helps.

Thank you,

Dorothy

My experience with a Haier Plasma 42EP24S is that they have weak software chip that goes bad and can cause a number of symptoms from picture with no sound, will not recognize video inputs, or my current problem tv turns on and off irratically.  This is the second time i have replace this chip, which is the socketed chip on the vga/component/dvi input circuit card.  Last time i had this problem i ended up fixing it myself because sears took over 3 weeks and still could not figure out the problem.  I am working on obtaining this chip, probally get about a dozen so if anyone thinks this may fix there problem as well i my have some for sale.  [email protected] of Malobicky Digital Systems.

You need the upgrade kit - make Sears come out and order it for you - they know all about it, claim that the monitor should have been recalled. Mine was out of warranty, however I convinced them to fix the TV.
