We have a digital converter box attached to our TV. Will the converter box enable this model to work without a tuner? We do not have cable television and our television does not have a digital tuner.

Question

ToshibaStaff · Accepted Answer

There are many types of converter boxes on the market, so I don't have enough information to answer your question.

If a) your converter box has a Video or S-Video output and, b) you tune your TV channels using the converter, it should work by connecting from the converter to the recorder.

If you're not certain about the above, please re-post your question with details about the connections on your TV and converter.

Yes, attach the converter box to the recorder then the recorder to the TV. You may need to purchase something to make it possible to attach the recorder if your TV has only a coaxial hook up.

Yes you can go straight from your digital box to the recorder using rca jacks (red, white, yellow). Some digital boxes only have one audio (red/white). In those cases you can use a rca splitter. It will have one input and two out.
