Trying to make a small dvd player work with the tv in my RV. Audiovox TV does not have a video setting.?

Question

The dvd player is connected with an RCA to coax adapter. We hooked it up but cannot make the DVD player work with the TV. I think it's because there is no video setting on the TV remote. My brother says we need a BF box or something like that. He could not remember what it is called. The back of the tv has no spot for plugs, just coaxial cables. The DVD player is a small Coby with a remote.

Answer 1

You need an RF Modulator. You can get them from Radio Shack or other electronics supply store. You plug the video from your DVD player into the modulator, and it gives you a signal on either TV channel 3 or 4 (you can select) on a coax output. You connect the modulator to the TV antenna inputs and tune the TV to the channel you selected. If your TV does not have a coax input (only twin-lead screw heads), you can get a transformer (called a "balun") to convert the coax to twin-lead.

Answer 2

You could use a RF modulator to connect the two pieces. You would use the RCA connectors from the DVD to the modulator. Then use coax from the modulator to the TV (use on chan. 3 or 4).
