Does the PS50C91HX/RAD have tv analogue - Televison & Video

Hooking up an old VCR is a doddle if you also have an old analogue tv.

The VCR provides an analogue output via a scart socket, often via phono sockets (2 or 3) or by rf modulation, providing an output into the aerial socket of the tv that could be tuned-in like a regular analogue tv station.

If the tv has a scart socket it should be plug and play, even with a digital tv, otherwise you will need an analogue to digital converter, probably the most economic types are the popular VHS grabber types designed to convert the VHS output into a format a computer can burn onto a dvd but many others are available in many different price bands.

You need a digital converter to receive digital signals on an analogue TV (old type). If you are using an outside antenna you can purchase the box from places like Walmart, Kmart, Radio Shack for around $40. If you have cable TV or Sat (Dish or Direct TV) you need one of their boxes to convert the signal back to analogue. The Walmart type boxes WILL NOT WORK for cable or Sat TV.

Go in to analogue tuning. Tune just the analogue side of the TV.

VCRs are analogue. So their tuners won't pick up digital TV signals, and their output from the aerial socket is analogue too. You'll have to make sure your TV is on the analogue TV tuner and then tuned to the VCR output channel if you want to use the aerial connection for viewing. It's probably a lot simpler though to use the VCR's AV output to the TV.

If you connect a TV receiver (Aerial/cable/satellite) to the AV input on the VCR, then switch the VCR to that AV input, you will see and be able to record programmes.

If your TV and DVD recorder have two SCART sockets each, then you can connect the two boxes to the second scart of each device. When recording the channel selected will have to be AV2. If either of them hasn't a second scart socket. Then I suggest you get one of these scart switching boxes from places such as Amazon.

The buttons on the unit will allow you to record, whilst still watching the TV.

Hello
Thei Orion model Tv is not equipped with a digital tuner inside. There is only an analogue tuner fitted and only analogue channels can be received by this set. To get digital channels, you have to buy one settop box, which can convert digital signals to analogue signals. In short, a Digital to Analogue Converter should be bought, if you want to get digital channels. OK.

Hi there
I am assuming your new TV is now Digital. If so, it will be looking for a different signal to the old TV which was probably analogue. You may need a aerial upgrade/diagnostic to determine if you are recieving a digital signal. Or you can tune in the analogue channels, by switching the new TV to analogue, through the inputs/menu, and then i suggest autotune.
Hope this helps

According to the manual I looked at, this TV has only one antenna input. This means that analog is available if you let the TV do a full autoprogram of memory. It might take it several minutes to complete, but once its done you should have analog and digital if available. If you were looking for analog channel 5 then you would just enter 5-0 but digital channel 5 would be 5-1.

The transition from analogue TV broadcasting has been painfull in some areas. the only way to get out of this frustration is to buy yourself a digital set top box . This will convert the digital TV signals to analogue form so that your TV can pick them clearly. In any case ,the trend is to have all analogue transmissions phased out altogether
