hoony Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 as implied above, i have a tv installed in my car but don't know how to tune it... do i need an aerial or whatever? i don't know what i need, basically, i have a tv that flips out when i tell it to but only has two channels, AV1 and wait for it... AV2 how do i get normal tv channels, i am n00b hence the question, you guys just know i'd appreciate all the help in the world and i would love it if you could just tell me what i'd have to do to get it working, cheers Andrew Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/220723-tv-tuner/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
NA_Goodness Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Are you sure its a TV Tuner? Cos that sounds like it needs 2 video inputs Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/220723-tv-tuner/#findComment-3892189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunjiaow Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Yeah. It might be a dvd player only but you can buy a tv receiver which connects to the AV inputs. I always wanted to do this...

Magic Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) You'd need a TV Tuner & AV Adapter for it, and also an External TV Aerial that plugs into the aerial connection that's on the Tuner Box. If it had TV Antenna Input straight away on the unit, that'd make things a whole lot easier lol.

Pal Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 is it a jap tv, if so you need a ntsc to pal converter. i had one originally in mine but it was too hard and bulky to get going. also due to the distance the main tv stations are away. tv antennas in your car don't work to well. only thing i done was hooked up a portable dvd player that could play ntsc.

infamous_t Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 There was no aerial connection Andrew, like I said on Friday, it looks to be just an LCD screen. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/220723-tv-tuner/#findComment-3892647 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) Connector: acc power (red) audio/video (AV) input connect, the rich connect outside the input of power = negative on TV capability, unless you do what I said, which involves buying more stuff and will be a real headfcuk, and even then no gurantee you'll get good reception from it.

NA_Goodness Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Bahaha. Good work Eric! Gotta read that fine print! Andrew... buy a DVD head unit without a screen, get an Alpine one that can use you iPod more efficiantly (thru the head unit itself) plus all the tuning and that, and just plug it into you head unit. Having said that... Often it is better to go for the more expensive and safe option rather then the cheap and "easy" way out!
