Connecting to a TV using a RF Modulator

Note: Not all RF Modulators are compatible with APEX Digital players. Please see our website for recommendations.

Many older televisions do not have the newer component-video, composite-video, or s-video connections that optimize DVD technology. While it would be advised to purchase a newer television in order to take full advantage of the digital quality of DVD’s, it is possible to connect an older television to a DVD player. This connection requires a device called an RF modulator.

First, it is necessary to ascertain whether or not your TV needs a RF modulator. Look at the back of your TV. If you see three input connectors lined up in a row, in the colors of yellow, red, and white, then you will not need an RF modulator. If you see a connector labeled "s-video", then you will not need an RF modulator. If you do not have either of these connectors, then you will need to purchase an RF modulator from the store where you purchased your Apex Digital DVD player or other home electronics retailers.

Older televisions use a coaxial connection, which combines all of the video signal from an exterior source into a single line. This line is then translated by your TV into the picture you see. The RF modulator combines the output signals from the DVD player, or any other device, into the coaxial connection for use by your television.

Below are written and pictoral instructions on the proper way to connect an RF modulator to your Apex DVD player and your TV.
