You need to check the connection is tight from the antenna and also on the back of the tv. You may need to try another coaxial cable. Is your antenna powered, meaning does it have a power plug that needs to be plugged in? Is your tv an old crt television? You may need a converter box to be able to view digital channels. A signal booster may help you get more channels.
Your tv or antenna may be defective. You could try your antenna on another tv. If your other tv gets a signal, your tv's tuner could be bad. If the other tv goes not get a signal either your antenna could be bad. I hope this helps narrow down your problem.
Does your TV have connections (RCA plugs) on the back somewhere? If not, you need an antenna connection from the screw-on connection on the back of the VHS unit to an adapter to your VHF antenna screws on the TV unless your TV is new enough to have a screw-on type cable for the antenna connection. The tape player will broadcast a signal right into your TV over channel 3or 4! Check a TV sales department or Radio Shack for the parts.
Ok, I am confused. How old is the TV? If new, hook the ariel directly into the tuner on the TV. The ATSM tuner in auto configure will identify and setup the channels with no need for a set top box. On old TV using an Analog Tuner will need a box. Antenna in goes to the antenna, antenna out goes to the F connector on the TV. Should be one coax connector on the TV. That is an F connector. Set the TV to channel 3 or 4 depending on what the switch is set on the back of the set top box.
if you have an external antenna on your roof, then you would need to connect the antenna "Ant." (coaxial) If you have to old style 2 wire setup, you will have to get an adapter.
Page 8 of your manual shows the connection it at the top-right of the TV's rear......
Does the SV5000 have a coaxial (Channel 3 or 4) output? Connect that output to the antenna input to the old TV. If your TV is so old that it has only a 300 ohm antenna input (2 screws), just use one those old adapters that has 2 scew lugs on one end and a coaxial receptacle on the other, connect a coaxial connector between that and the VCR's coaxial output.
You don't need a digital antenna; any indoor UHF/VHF antenna will work. The antenna and the TV both connect to the converter box, not to each other.
A standard
rabbit ears (UHF/VHF) antenna with flat wire (300 ohm) connections can be hooked up to the coaxial cable that goes to the Antenna (RF in) jack on the converter box by using a balun (Radio Shack catalog # 15-1297, about $8). If you have an antenna with coaxial cable already attached, you don't need the balun.
To connect the TV to the converter box, you need an adapter that has an F jack on one end and a
1/8" plug on the other (Radio Shack catalog # 278-257, about $5). The
1/8" plug on the adapter goes in the external antenna jack on the TV, and
the other end connects to the coaxial cable that goes to the TV (RF out) jack
on the converter box.
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
