What I Plan - DVD to Old TV

Objective: Plug in high tech DVD to old tech one RF input TV.

Found out that it is do-able but it's a 50/50 thing.

Old TV has combined AV signals into one RF (Antenna) socket.

DVD has split different AV signals so the alternative is to plug DVD via VCR which then combines AV into one RF out.

DVD players have copyright circuitry which means that it may not output correctly resulting in poor picture quality or no picture at all.

Solution: buy a AV (RF) modulator. At Dick Smith it's about $40. At Jaycar the set alone is $20 but it has no power source, and with another power source, I'm looking at total $37.

But I am not going to get a new TV. That defeats the whole purpose

UPDATE :22 APRIL , SUNDAY
So yesterday I went to Dick Smith to check out modulators and found DVD players on sale. I decided to buy a Teac DVD player for $69. It had the latest playable things: include MP4 and WMA. The assistant told me the more "no name" brands, the less the problem of copyright circuitry.

Got it home, connected Audio to Sony Hi-Fi (circa 1990) and connected to National VCR (circa ? at least pre-1990) and connected RF out to Trinitron RF/Antenna In. Switched to AV channel and beaut! Worked like a charm. Needless to say the DVD player doubles as a CD player for my MP3.

This morning, though, the screen decided to show an error message: !PSCAN, with the screen split down the middle.

Finally discovered that the DVD player is doing some kind of progressive scan which my old TV cannot cope with. So went to Settings, selected Video and selected Interlaced, rather than PSCAN. Beaut take 2!
