Old tv???????

Question

i got an old tv, it says 1990 on it so its pretty old. im looking for those 3 plugs that are red yellow and white for video games and cameras and stuff but i cant find it. is it really older then those plugs? or are they hidden in the back of it or somting? cuz i cant find it...how can i still use video games and camera with this tv?

Answer 1

Some inexpensive and many older TVs do not have external RGB input jacks. There used to be devices sold that accepted RGB  input signals and put out a channel 3 or 4 signal . I don't know if anyone still sells them.

Answer 2

Connect it to a VCR

Answer 3

Without a model number, it's hard to give you an exact answer but, not all TVs had video input connectors.  Many just had an antenna in and that was all.  The VHF/UHF connector is for an antenna.

If you have a modulator, you could still play games on this set.  An old VCR would do the same thing.  Plug the game into the modulator or VCR and connect that to the antenna input on the TV.

Answer 4

Oh Boy, that's an old guy. DEFINATELY will NOT have the A/V jacks on it. I believe there is an adapter that you may be able to buy at places like Fry's Electronics or Radioshack that will let you convert your TV's UHF plug into A/V. I would check with them, and if you have a digital camera, take a picture of the plug from your camera and the input on your tv to be able to show the person what it is your talking about. I've found that this is sometimes easier than trying to explain to them what it is you're talking about. :) Hope this helps.
