Will this TV work with my basic coax cable connection? I'm interested in this Acer TV, but I just have a basic analog cable connection in my room (coax cable that plugs directly into TV). Does this TV have an input to place the coax cable? I noticed the product description lists an AUDIO coax digital outlet port, but is that the same thing? Thanks!

Per Owners Manual - has coax antenna input. Audio coax digital output is a separate thing.

Just a note.. you probably already know this, but you won't get anywhere near HD with analog cable. You'll be viewing 330p on a 1080p monitor, so the picture will appear extremely fuzzy. Another FYI, you can view true digital high-def network TV broadcast for free with just an antenna.

I purchased this item because I have an old SONY 35" tube TV. The coax coaction to the tuner broke, but the tube is still good. I took the coax line that was going into the TV and connected it to the RF IN of this device. I connected red/white audio jacks from this device's red/white AUDIO OUT into the TV's red/white AUDIO IN. I did the same with the yellow VIDEO jack connections. This works fine and I have never had a problem. Based on what how you describe your situation, I would speculate that this device will work for you as it does for me. Obviously I cannot be sure, but this device is still working just fine for me. The only difference is that you have plasma and I have a tube. Hope this helps.

My other TV is upstairs in bedroom..no cable there, only downstairs with main 55" HSTV...How would I be able to get cable upstairs with this item, if at all. I also see that this does not mention Win 7 OS among the others that do, and why are OS necessary. I am confused. ..thanks

I have a Hi-Def cable box from the cable company. The coaxial goes into the cable box and the cable box has a hdmi port that can go right in the back of the TV or in our case since we have the 607 we go threw that first and then the TV. But if you don't have a cable box then this will not work correctly.Yes I am still playing with all the settings...... I think it is All Channles that I listen to the most... Then the low suround setting makes everything pop also.

This is where I ran into problems; The audio input is Optical. My TV only has Digital Coax. I had to buy an coax to optical converter to make it compatible. It was about $20 Hope this helps

I believe this is unit is basically a continuity tester so if your cable can connect then it should work. As mentioned by others, the problem you will have is if your COAX cable has connectors that will work with this unit.

Well, I just ordered a coaxil cable two-way splitter (listen to the techie here, lol!) The guy at Best Buy told me to somehow get the antenna hooked into the recorder/player AND the tv. He said we didn't need that channel 3. Wish me luck. I just may have something. I'll let you know! - Linda

There are two specs for this kind of audio--optical and coaxial. The optical terminal is flat on three sides and curved on the fourth side. If both your TV and cable box have such inputs, this cable will work fine (although this particular one is only 3 feet long, I think). Coax inputs look more like normal RCA inputs (round)-if your digital connectors are coax this cable won't work for you. Best I can tell you without seeing your setup!

HDMI is better than Component or Component which are better than coaxial. Here's the question though: what if the coaxial is from an indoor antenna? Many reviewers have written that they get better HD Over The Air (coaxial) than from Cable. So, what is the issue here? Does the coaxial connecting indoor antenna to HDTV function differently than coaxial from, say DVD to HDTV? Put more simply: does an indoor antenna give a true HD picture?

more info would really help us help you . you have to ask yourself 2 very important questions . does the chromebook have a displayport out ? and does the tv have a displayport in ? if the answer is no to any of the questions then this cable will not work for you . first determine what kinda output the chromebook has , most i've seen have an HDMI out and or VGA out . then look @ what inputs your TV has , all HDTV's will have an HDMI put and most will have a VGA input . if the chromebook and tv have HDMI , that would be the best way to connect your chromebook to your HDTV.

I am working with the same TV and found out that a single regular RCA cable to the digital audio output (black color) connector to a similar single digital audio in RCA jack (Such as the one on a Bose V35) does work. The setup I'm working with has no cable box, just a coaxial cable TV cord going directly into the TV with no separate tuner system. I was able to get surround sound to work to a 5-speaker system. I would like to see how a gold coaxial RCA-type connector with a solid core (as opposed to stranded) does to deliver better audio. If I get to do that, I'll update here. Sharp might have confused coaxial cable like the kind that delivers TV signal from the cable TV company with coaxial audio cable.

No. I have a tv that only has a coax input and I bout this cable to hook up an Apple TV which requires hdmi. You can't see it in the picture but the cable's end is not a normal coax. It wouldn't plug into my tv like a normal coax cable would. I had to send it back and have not been able to find the cable I need.

No it does not work from a standard Coax cable- THIS CABLE will not work for that ,it is some type of specialty coax hookup not for home

nope. it does not come with a coaxial input anymore. It has rca, hdmi, Y/pb/pr, VGA for connection

There is no more analog tv. All broadcast TV in the US is now digital and this will work with that. Haven't tried it with a cable input so don't know if that will work.

really does not work directly in a non-digital tv, unless you have an HDMI to AVG adaptar... because the device only has HDMI output and Coaxial cable, but I have not used the coaxial cable and if works in a conventional tv with this cable.

Ok, there is another kind of digital cable connection you can use if your tv has that... Otherwise, the unit should come with a rca y connection where you connect a red and white to your tv and the other end is one black rca cable that goes into the back of the unit on the far left side. If you do not have a rca Y connector than try to connect either the red or the white wire only to the back of the unit where it says analog in.. That means the unit only has a mono rca connection on the far left side of the unit where it says analog in.
