Connecting a game console to a TV can be done in several ways. The convenience of using the device, as well as the image quality, depends on which one is chosen.
Instructions
Step 1
If your TV is equipped only with a high-frequency input, then choose one that has a corresponding output. Unlike video recorders, most often equipped with UHF modulators, set-top boxes are usually equipped with MV range modulators. Therefore, it is necessary to connect a set-top box instead of a MV antenna to a TV that has separate inputs of these ranges. Remember to connect and disconnect a community or other grounded antenna with the device turned off. The same applies to the set-top box, if its power supply is switched-mode.
Step 2
After connecting the set-top box, turn on its power, then tune the TV to the channel on which its modulator works. The way to do this depends on the TV. The criterion for fine tuning is the trade-off between image clarity and the invisibility of crackling from frame sync pulses.
Step 3
Frequent switching of cables from the antenna and set-top box leads to rapid wear of the TV socket. Some set-top boxes are supplied with special antenna switches. In this case, with the equipment de-energized (the switch case is metal!), Connect the antenna and the set-top box to the switch inputs, and connect the switch output to the TV.
Step 4
A number of set-top boxes do not contain a built-in modulator, but have a special socket for connecting it. In addition to the image and sound signals, the supply voltage is connected to this socket. Connect the modulator to the jack, and connect its output to the TV in one of the above ways.
Step 5
The best image quality and date is achieved when the set-top box is connected via a low-frequency channel. To do this, first make sure that your TV is equipped with the appropriate inputs. Then purchase or assemble a cable to connect the set-top box to the TV's DIN-6, RCA or SCART connectors, depending on the type of device. After connecting, select the AV input on the TV. If your TV has more than one of these, try everything until you see an image. You don't need to set up the device.
Step 6
If the set-top box does not have a modulator, and the TV does not have a low-frequency input, use a VCR as a modulator. But at the same time, remember that the output signal will have to be looked for in the UHF range. Almost all VCRs contain switching power supplies and require a power outage when connected.
