Need Help Connecting a DVD Player to an Old Coby Camping TV for Sound Issues
Asked by

I'm trying to connect my Magnavox DVD/CD Player (Model DP100MW8B) to a Coby 5-inch black and white camping TV (Model CX-TV1). The TV doesn't have RCA ports, but it does have a 'video in' port, which looks like an aux jack. I bought a 3.5mm to RCA cable and managed to get the video working, but I'm stuck with sound. It's just static, no matter what I plug in. There's also an aux port on the front of the TV and a labeled 'ext.ant' port on the back. Is it even possible to get sound from this setup? Should I look into using an external speaker or something else?
Answers
I recommend trying to plug an external speaker into the headphone port on the TV. That might boost the sound and solve the static issue.

Have you checked what kind of 3.5mm plug you're using? It could be the issue. If you used a 3-pole plug instead of a 4-pole one, that might explain the sound problems.

CampingTechie42: I think I used a 3-pole one, the yellow, red, and white cables just to the aux.
