Hi folks, DW and I are trying to hook-up a new vcr dvd combo to an old style coax only tv for my sister in law. The new unit has only s video and rca plugs. Could someone help with what is needed to hoop up this set up. Thks Chuck & Cissy

A device called a "Modulator" takes RCA and/or S-Video and/or Other in, and has RF (Coax) out, chan 3 or 4 switch selectable.. Radio Shack or any Video Store, Best Buys, Frys, et-al.

Option 2: VCR
Option 3: TV with Line inputs (RCA and/or S-Video)

But option one is recommended if you have multiple TV's and a video source selector switch box.

YES they are, 5 or six connections depending on model and your install

L/R/V from DVD player.. Coax to switch, Power
Ditto plus TV-Ant in if you don't have a switch and the modulator does.

That's all. Very easy.
