Need assistance - New to DVD game, have survived lo these many years with VCR and have received DVD/CD player combination for Christmas. Old TV, sony trinitron with great picture, new DVD - how to connect? TV has RF/catv and coax conections, DVD has RCA connections but the hitch in the get along is the second adio output from the DVD, no place to "plug" into either the TV or current VCR? Do I need a receiver of some sort ot make this work??

If some one can help i would certainly appreciate it.

Thanks!!

you need and RF Modulator. You can get one from Radioshack for about 30 bucks. The sound may be downmixed to mono(I'm not sure on that one) but it'll work. Welcome to DVD!

I've seen mono ones for about $12 and stereo ones for about $30. Check to see which one you're getting.

Instead of spending $30 on an RF modulator, consider buying a new TV, especially if your old TV is not 27" or greater. You can buy nice 27" TVs for around $300 to $350.

Most DVDs are in widescreen format (which is good), but the picture is really tiny on a 19" TV.

Then again, if you can pick up a mono modulator for $12, that will buy you some time.
