One customer talked about only RCA cables were included in the box. Please explain...I know zero about set-up. My TV is a Sharp Aquos. Is that ok?

Buy an HDMI cable-Amazon offers a good one along with the player for $10. that's it. IT sends the digital signal directly to your digital sharp aquos tv.

Mike; the only thing my info packet says is, RCA is in a global international market , and in house brands of electronics; so I'm not sure about this one. reason I bought RCA is our last RCA tv , we had almost 30 years, we don't need all the gizmos so this tv fits our life style. hope this is some help.

The Samsung tv has all of the inputs and cables required for watching tv....does not have any RCA components. The Samsung 39" tv is an excellent buy and product! I've enjoyed mine !

As far I saw that TV has a HDMI port, so just a HDMI cable and you are all set if not the RCA cable included in the DVD Player work too, but I highly recommend the HDMI cable to really use the upscale functionality.

Hi Christina - I don't have a clue. I live in a condo. It supports 1080 HDTV and I get all the major channels, plus unknowns and PBS. They offer cable here, but I told them to forget it. I've got this RCA in my living room and a Winegard in my bedroom. Both work well. It takes a bit of moving around at first, but I'm getting TV when everyone else's cable is soaked. I'm not a big fan of most of the cable networks - so I'm fine with what I've got.

I bought this TV for a second home. The Condo Unit comes with analog and digital cable. When I do the Channel Setup Scan ( both Analog and Digital), I only pick up the Analog. I was told that I need a convertor. I also bought a small Sony LCD, and when I did the Setup. it picked up both Analog and Digital and was able to view the HD Channels. Any suggestions??

Thanks for the response. I did expect that to be the case to some degree. I did some re-adjusting recently and am pretty happy with what I have now.With the dvd issue I used component video instead of the rca and it's a huge improvement. It turns out to be pretty solid tv after all.

It came with a short rca cable. It is only about a foot and a half long. But the box works great and the picture is great.

Hi, it was relatively easy to hook up and I'm never comfortable doing this sort of thing. I had set the tv set up with the cable box and didn't get a chance to do much more as the red line appeared on the screen. When I couldn't get rid of the red line I had to unplug and pack it up. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Difficult to diagnose without your specific setup details. It should NOT require any additional gear, other than what was in the box plus a TV with A/V (RCA) inputs and an RCA double male A/V connector (which is NOT supplied). Sounds like the tech may be blowing smoke up your rear end. There is an A/V connector in the box (1/8 in TRS connector with 3 flying leads (RED/WHITE/YELLOW if I remember; the RED/WHITE is the audio and the YELLOW the video - you'll need a double-ended MALE/MALE (3 lead) RCA A/V connector to complete the setup).

I had the cable company come out to connect the TV so I'm not sure what cables are involved. I will tell you, however, it's a fabulous TV and you'll love it. Sorry I couldn't be more definitive in my answers but did you contact the Philips conpany and ask them or better yet, try their website. bkwright

@radar363: thank for the information. I kept getting multiple information from vayring sources who should have known the correct response, including the manufacturer of my Television Set. Finally I ordered the cable just to have it on hand when I started setting up and quickly discovered that all but one of my sources was incorrect (and the correct one was NOT the manufacturer of my TV) and I didn't need it at all. Live and learn. But, I appreciate you help. Judi

Thanks everyone for you help! I bought the TV last week and received it on Thur. What a great TV!!! I found and purchased the RCA-to-3.5mm adapter and it worked great. Only problem was the lack of volume control as William stated. I then purchased an audio extender cable that has a volume control built into it. Everything works beautifully!Thanks Jerry for the idea of the Wireless Headphones. I'm going to look into it as a future purchase.Thanks again!!

They use speaker wire, not RCA cables, to connect to an audio source. Few TVs have output for external speakers, so your TV will need to be hooked up to an audio receiver, with RCA cables, then you're going to hook up the speakers to the audio receiver with speaker wire.

That's the exact reason I returned it. I'm pretty sure it's only compatible with a Sharp TV. I was able to solve the problem with an analog connect. Pure junk... return it if possible.

No cable in box. Radio shack, or ebay, electronic store. It's called "RCA" cable. Just ask sales person. Very easy to install. I hope I answered your question.

Thank you for the replies! So, I shouldn't worry about having to return the tv?? Do you think it could be an issue with the cable box possibly? Or, is it the TV? The line that I see doesn't go away, and is in all modes.
