Questions & Answers

Is there a remote control included?

I would say no. You can find a user manual for the RF modulator by going to your browser's "Philips PH61159 RF Modulator" link. There is no mention of a remote in the manual.

Would this item work in a Sterio system to provide TV audio? A red and white RCA jack is all that is available on the amp, while the TV does not have an ?

That doesn't seem to be the case Connecting an HD box to a TV with only an RF input, I connected it to that. Besides the RF interface, I don't think it outputs anything else. Input is intended for the others.

Will this device give me the ability to use the Ch3 or Ch4 option if I have an old VCR that does not offer that choice?

It seems to me that a VCR doesn't have anything to do with channels in most cases if it is an ancient one. It's worth your time to take a look at it. If you are willing to spend a few bucks you may be able to get As long as it's available, you can connect it to another device.

Selected User Reviews For Philips PH61159 RF Modulator (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

I love it! I love how it works
4/5

The color red A DVD player and a television connected via Coax cable output white)video/audio. You can connect another source, such as a satellite box, cable box, or regular cable, using the Coax input. The display only comes on when there is a video signal.

It has also a S-shaped design Although I was able to watch video output on it when I did this, I encountered considerable interference on Using Yellow is the quickest and easiest way to connect The color red The RCA cables from whatever device you are trying to use need to be white. The S-wave caused a lot of disruptions in the S-wave Since there was a problem with video interference, I gave this a 4 star rating. My recommendation is to buy this item as it is a solid Please make sure you have the cables on hand or that you include them in your order if you do not already have them.

It's time to put those old TVs to work again
5/5

There is no coaxial out on Direct TV's HD box, and I have Direct TV. It was a great idea to put dust collectors back into service. I have a fleet of televisions in my basement under this clever device. I can watch DirectTV or DVD by switching from channel 3 to 4 (switching is handled through stereo to surround sound). I love it for sports - it's great The plays are no longer missed by me. It turned out I was able to salvage my 20" Sharp from a dust bunny in the corner of my basement and its 13" retarded sister. The items are now on display in the bar area and on a shelf next to the treadmill so people can view them. The show is the same for all of them But at that price, if you are going to put back those old tube sets, why not?.

As expected, it worked as expected
5/5

It was easy to hook up my Wii to the old TV at the Vagabond Inn with the help of a coax cable of 1ft. The same thing did not work for me at an Extended Stay Hotel (though it worked just fine) since that hotel (and I imagine some nicer ones) have a wireless form that must be filled out, and since the Wii is not a computer it won't let you do it. As a result, if you need to hook up something newish to an older television set, this is a great solution that offers the capability of composite output and better picture quality.

At the lowest price out there, this is a great little device! This modulator has so far worked without any technical problems for me, and I am very pleased with this purchase
5/5

Neither my TV nor the DVD player can be directly connected to it. Especially since the TV is still in very good condition, buying a new TV just for the purpose of connecting my DVD player seems wasteful. It was a good decision to buy this RF modulator since it was cheap and convenient. In the aftermath of buying this on Amazon for around $9, I discovered the same item at a "discount" superstore You can buy it for around $17 at the store. Having recommended it to a friend who is happy so far, I'm sure he will be pleased as well. If it's so cheap, it's not worth not buying it!.

Module for RF transmission from Philips
5/5

In order to stabilize and control the RF signal, the Philips RF Modulator is essential Digitally convert analog signals into digital, normally as part of an internal or external tuner. A few months ago, I bought one of these as a backup I have to trade in my Philips amplifier for this new model. I damaged my original RF modulator due to an electrical spike. In addition to the battery protection, I have added the following Defend against surges with this surge protection unit. Currently, we seem to be experiencing more spikes in the electrical utilities.

The instructions are clear and the software works as described
5/5

This is what I use to connect the output of a Motorola DCT6416III HD-compatible We can DVR our show to a TV in a distant room (so our granddaughters can watch With either the S- or the R-shaped outlets connected to the cable box (on the switched outlet), the device works fine It is possible to input video or composite video. The S-80 is, like most devices, designed to supply a low level of power Video takes priority, so if you want to use the composite (yellow) input, you will need to remove the S-Video cable This video connector connects to your TV. Even the HD-quality RF signal looks just as good in the remote room as any analog signal does There are photos. It comes at a reasonable price (if you order something else in the same order to save on shipping)!.

I really like the way it works! I am very pleased with it
5/5

I thought its price was a steal, especially when compared to a similar RCA product I found at a local hardware store that was $28 and had a plug, adapter, and cord. This one comes with the plug already attached and does not require a separate transformer. I have fewer surges than I did before, so that makes me feel better The current generation of power strips and protectors can handle all of the electronics that require large power converters today.
