Title: RCA=coaxle
Post by: missioncontrol on January 01, 2005, 12:42:22 am

I finally bought a Jakks pacman but the problem I came across is the TV I was going to use doesn't have any RCA plugs oly coaxle...my question is "is there a converter that I can use or does anybody now a way to wire around it????"

you can get a converter from most electronics stores.   seehttp://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&product%5Fid=15-2526 for an example. this seems expensive though

If you have a BigLots! near you they seem to always have RF modulators (what you need) for about $10.  RadioShack and other electronics joints tend to sell them for $19-$29.

The other thing to try, is to hook it into the audio/video-in RCA jacks on your VCR.

Good luck

The cheapest convertor in my opinion is to find an old VCR for free. Surely you know someone who has one gathering dust somewhere (perhaps even you have one and didn't think about it!)
