QuestionHow do you attach the base?Model: NS-42D510NA15 SKU: 2891233 I cannot make this TV attach sturdily to the base(s) and balance upright. This model TV comes with 2 "feet" type of bases, not a central stand type of base. Due to the way they are constructed you can only insert the base into the holes on the bottom of the TV one way. Using either the included screws, or any other screws I could find, I can't get it to lock in. But even disregarding that, the TV isn't balanced, it leans forward quite a bit, so much so that I would not feel safe taking my hand off of it for a minute to see if it would even support the TV. This isn't just a fluke with my unit, I bought 2 of these last night and they are both the same way. I've got 4 other flat panel LED TV's, one of which is a 39" Insignia, but I've never seen this type of base before. For the money this is a great TV for kids, but if I have to spend the time, money and effort to go back to the store, buy a wall mount and install it I think I will probably just return these for slightly more expensive models with a base that is easy to attach the TV to.

- Answer You really have to tighten those screws on the bottom. It took me a long time to get them tight I had the same issue at first the screws seem that there are in but then it's all wobbily. I ended up having to use a power drill to get those screws in there.

- Answer be 100% sure the TV remote has two good batteries dvd player - based on your model, can be connected to the TV via the three component connections (RCA type) **this set up must be used with an add'l audio connection for sound** ..or.. the via the HDMI single wire insignia 42 inch HDTV - use the insignia TV remote and find the button marked INPUT .. press INPUT & hopefully your screen should display a menu .. scroll up/down & match the input on the menu that you connected your dvd player to the back of the TV .. play any dvd at the same time you select the menu input .. at this time you should see your TV screen begin to read the info on the your DVD hope this helps & good luck

QuestionAntenna?Specs do not say if there is an input for antenna. Looking for a tv with OTA reception capability
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer It does have an old school coax antenna input. I have it connected to my house HD OTA antenna and it gets 21 OTA channels out of 22. So the tuner works as designed. Does HD 1080p and 480i channels without problems and cutting out like my old Sceptre did.

QuestionThe sound is very lowwhat can you do to try to fix this problem with the sound. I can not hear the tv
Asked 10 years ago by sulli.
- Answer We actually experienced this problem with the first Insignia television that we purchased. However, it only seemed to happen when we watched TV through the cable box. Otherwise, the sound quality was good through the game consoles, Blu-ray player, etc. You may want to try disconnecting your cable box, reconnecting it to the television, and resetting your cable channels on the television. I hope that helps.

QuestionHow do you hook up x box??
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Assuming you are talking about the old original Xbox, what you really want to do is order the Xbox component cables (5 color). This TV will accept composite (3 color), but composite is awful compared to component. Spend the $7 and upgrade the cable. If you really do insist, you can hook the composite up to this TV. Plug the audio cables in first (white and red), and then plug the yellow cable into the next immediate port

Questionhow long is the start up delay?How long after pushing power does the picture display?
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I just tested it, and it was about 11 seconds for an OTA antenna channel source and almost 14 seconds for an HDMI source (the extra time due to the HDMI handshake). I didn't have a component source, but it's probably close to the time for the OTA source.
