Hooking up a playstation to main tv

[Higgins]

Has anyone fiqured out a way to do this. My coach has a control box that lets you choose between cable, antenna, or dvd. There is no way I can get behind the TV to hook a playstation up. Any help would be appreciated.

Higgins--

On my Tour I can access the back of the tv by removing the plastic cover over the dash that closes in the bottom of the tv compartment. To do this, I had to remove a plastic vent cover, the middle sun shade, and then take 5 screws (two longer ones near the windshield and three shorter ones with colored heads on the other side of the cover) out and the cover can be lifted down and rested on the dash. There is an access opening about 1 foot by 1 foot that you may be able to get to the back of the TV and hook up the PS to the back. I actually replaced my TV with a Samsung LCD TV on a swivel mount so it's now easy for me to get to the back of my tv, but the stock arrangement wasn't that hard once I figured it out.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions or see anything different.

Easiest might be to pickup an rf modulator at radio shack.It hooks up to your cable coax inbetween tv and video control box.Or like me ,you could get a vhs/dvd combo with video in port for your rca connectors.My kids wont camp without that idiot box

What about the front of the TV? No input ports there?

Here is a photo of how my TV is configured. This is not my coach, but the TV is in the same place. LINK.

All of the equipment including the DVD player are all wired into the control panel, so I can't figure how to get to the inputs on anything and no there are no front inputs.

Plug it into the DVD/VCR front RCA input jacks.

Do you have the 32" Samsung like I do? I want to follow this post as my grand sons have asked the same question about accessing the jacks for their games.

[Higgins]

Yes I have the same TV. The LG in the bedroom hooks up great, but that presents issues when I want to go to bed and they want to play. I am sure somebody has a "fix" for this. One poster mentioned going into the RCA jack on the front of the DVD player. I have not looked into that if it exsists, but as cheap as that unit is I doubt it has them.

Most, if not all LCDs have side inputs. They offer Y/R/W and the S-Video connection. Look at your docs or post the model number/size and we can find it on the internet. Both my Samsung 50" Home set and my Sony 32" MH set has the side inputs.

My new Sony in the stick house has the RCA plugs on the side. The Samsung may have them on the side also, I just don't know how to get to it to check.

How is your reception overall? The front TV gets great reception on satellite, the bedroom TV gets great reception on the batwing. They have replaced the winegard switch box twice on mine already.

If you look in the area above or below the tv, there may be a false panel you can remove for access.

Actually the Samsung in my coach is a CRT and not an LCD, however it is HDTV. I have been all around in and can't find any jacks. As for reception it is great. However it does not seem to want to auto program the cable system at our campground so we don't get all of the channels. I can't figure that one out.

I have the same TV, HD, flat screen CRT. I have a Sharp in the bedroom and it auto programs much better than the Samsung. In the Los Angeles area, (on the batwing) the Sharp picked up about 60 channels and the Samsung less than 10. The Sharp was crystal clear and the Samsung was barely watchable. It was just the opposite when using the satellite as far as reception.
