Trutech 35" LCD connecting to cable box

may be the source itself(i.e. cable box) also check cables between cable box & TV. If you are connecting the DVD to the same input the cable box is installed, You know that input on the TV is OK. If you get no audio when the DVD is connected to the same input as cable box, then issue is the MAIN PCB.

Please check if the antennae is connected with right cable and the dipole is good. If so search the channels avaiilable and if there is no signal then it is possible that the TUNER is faulty. check using another TV with the same antennae or check the RF input using a VCR or TUNER.

Hello
There is no details or user manuals in NET about your Trutech TV. If you have its owners manual with you now, go to its specification page, and see whether this TV have internal digital tuner or not. It will be speicied there. If there is internal digital tuner, you need not buy an external converter box. In not you have to. OK.

Is the satellite receiver HD or standard?
If it is standard you should hook up the box to the tv via RCA cables (Yellow/Red/White) and this will help with the picture quality.

If it is a HD receiver then hook up the box to the tv using a component video cable and this will drastically change the quality of the picture.

Using a coax cable to attach from the box to the tv essentially is connecting an analog signal to the tv and this will produce a lower quality picture...

Good Luck!!

You do need to buy good coaxial cables at a reputable electronics store. You may sometimes use the slide in one with some luck. I prefer a high quality cable purchase at the cable or satellite tv office. The other thing is you may have too many connections going into the tv. You may a dvd or vcr player that is still on. Or the video game box is on etc. Or worse yet...the RF connector on the tv itself is loose and will require a new soldered one in its place...this will require a tv tech! Or the quik fix is to bypass the RF connector and use the RCA cables and Jacks. Hate to leave you with so many options...but most is covered now...good luck!

Hi Shelly_Eddie,

Here are a couple of things to try:

Is the TV set to antenna or cable? Use the menu settings

Be sure a wire end is not bent outside of connection, i.e. coaxial cable wires sometimes bend or hide back into the sleeve.

Reset the TV and do a channel scan, unplug and see what happens.

Let me know how you make out. Good luck.

The way you have it hooked up right now will not work unless you have a coaxial out on your cable box going to the dvd recorder. Even then, picture quality will be severely degraded. The best way to do it is to leave your cable box hooked up to your TV via HDMI and connect your dvd recorder to your cable box via component video if your dvd recorder has a component video input. If it doesn't, then just use the composite video input. That way your picture quality will be better and you will still be able to record with the TV off.

Wont connect to my cable trutech 19 tv/dvd/pc monitor

You have to buy a adaptor for coaxial to television antenna hook-up. One side is used to hook up the cable to and the other side is to hook up to you televisions antenna's screw hook-up. These adaptors can be bought in most electronic stores and you should be able to find them on line. Just use google for cable to television adaptors. I hope this helps you with your problem.
