Trying to hook up new tv to digital cable. need to know which input to use for the rca cables from the cable box and what input to select. don't have owners manual.

* Brand, model for specific information.
* Check your warranty call for support.

*** Following is for information only.***
* Many times when hooking up new equip one must read the instructions as to the new configuration may be different with the older set up.
* As of Jan 2018, cable boxes have switched to all digital output.
* Outputs can be separate video and audio or combined as with the HDMI cables.
* Check your TV input set up to select the right cable input; HDMI-1, HDMI-2, COMP. Note; RF input may not be available in certain areas.
* The COMP input also needs an audio (in stereo) input from the cable box. It's usually a RCA plug (White and Red) The video will be 3 separate "colors" RCA plugs that needs to be matched to the correct input.
* You will also need to check your TV menu for the audio settings if it is set up for your current speakers set.
* Check with your cable provider for additional support.

If you have a cable box the channels are selected via the cable box remote and the TV is set to an HDMI video input. The specific input is identified where the HDMI cable connects from the box.

Use the video input remote to select the HDMI for the cable box.

Scanning is for identifing the over the air stations that use the coax input noted as antenna (ANT IN) on the back of the set.

Hope this helps?

You didn't mention tv make / model so thjis is only a guess . The tv may need tuning to find the direct tv cable.

Connect RCA wires (yellow, red, white) from the box's "out" to the tv's Input 1 or 2 on the back input panel of the tv set. If you don't have RCA's you may use a RGA- jumper wire (cable wire made into a 4 ft segment by the tech or buy a short cable wire from the Walmart, Target, or Goodwill store) Connect this wire to the "cable in" on the tv and the other end to the "cable out" on the box.ADDITIONALLY make sure you have the right input settings selected on the tv with the input selection you make with the wire connection you choose.

go to your manual selection botton on av source and select the rca input you plug the ps3

what are you trying to do? to hook up the tv you can use the cable output from the charter box into cable input into the tv (meaning cable as in coax cable) otherwise you can use the colored ones. red white an yellow are rca jacks but the 5 wire you talking about are prob compondent cables which are red green and blue. connect those to the tv and the other red and white ones are for audio to the tv you may have to set the charter box to select which output you are using and the tv to the right input for the rca it will prob be input 1 for the component it will be component 1
let me know if thats what you needed

For a standard VCR which is what most people have, all you need to do is connect a yellow RCA cable for video from the yellow output jack on the cable box rear panel to the VCR's yellow video input jack on its rear panel. Next connect a white RCA audio cable from the cable box white RCA output jack to the VCRs white RCA audio input jack. You can record a cable show by selecting the LINE input on the VCR and selecting the TV show on the cable box.

Now for playback, connect the VCR to your TV. Connect a yellow video cable from the VCR's yellow output jack to the TV's yellow video input jack. Same for the white audio connection. Select on the TV, the source input for the VCR. Its not complicated and you should not need any other devices for a standard setup with a digital cable box and vcr.

I have a cable box and a Samsung DVD-V5500 player. How do I hook up the 3-part cable to the back of the player?

give 1/2 to cable box and 1/2 to Antenna A input on TV then hook RF out to tv to Antenna B................Let me know...T.

Darth,
There are 2 ways you can accomplish this.First is the least quality which is via coax.What you want to do is connect the cable service coming from the wall to the input on your cable box.Then the TV output on the cable box goes to the input on your surround sound then the coax goes from the surround sound to the coax input on the TV.The second is to Connect using the RCA AV1 input.what you want to do is look at the back of the digital cable box and locate the OUTPUTS for the RCA jacks(or AV output)connect RCA cables (yellow red white) to the 1st INPUT on your surround sound.depending on models you should have a couple of different INPUTS for a signal.Choose one and plug it in.After that take a second pair of RCA cables and connect them to video OUTPUT on the surround sound and connect them to your AV1 OUTPUT on your TV.With the original remote for your TV,NOT the cable universal one,Look for an INPUT button on the remote.Some are called input some are called SOURCE,TV/VIDEO basically it tells the TV what signal source to look at on the back of the TV.If you dont have the remote put the TV on channel 3 then press the channel down button and when the TV gets to channel 1 press it again and it should start cycling through the AV inputs,choose AV1.


Once you have done this you have correctly
hooked everything up,BUT Like I said depending on the model of surround sound you are going to have to CHOOSE or physically select or "tell" the surround sound receiver which input to RECEIVE the sound through.In general the INPUT on the back of the surround sound will be labeled with something like Video IN,VCR IN, DVD IN and so forth.Make sure the surround sound is selected to Receive the sound coming from the digital box.Sometimes there is a dial on the front of the surround sound that allows you to select which INPUT on on the back becomes active .make sure that what you have selected matches what you have your cable box is connected to.Hope this helps!
