Lucifer <LuciferMorningstar@bigpond.com>: Nov 05 03:02PM +1100 The Samsung LA19R71B is a 19" LCD TV. I was using it with the RF output of my Commodore C64C. Channel search works but no channels are detected.

The C64C works with a different TV and the Samsung will not detect the output of an analogue TV modulator.

If the modulator's output was in the UHF band, then selecting OTA instead of CATV would be necessary.   Probably has a bad tuner.

Bad guess(tm): "CATV FREQUENCY ASSIGNMENT" <http://www.annsgarden.com/telecom/CATV.html>   >Probably has a bad tuner.   Maybe. It would be nice to know what "Channel search works" really means. Does it find and display any other OTA stations? If it does find and display other stations, then the tuner is not broken.   Try MANUALLY saving whatever channel the C64 video modulator is allegedly producing. Be sure to select "Air Channel Mode". Instructions are on Pg 10 of the user manual: <http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/200706/20070615181620671_BN68-01287A-01Eng-0601.pdf> It might be helpful to know what country you are in. Bigpond.com is in Australia, so you would set the "color system" to PAL (or AUTO). If you still can't get a picture with everything set manually, and the C64 works on other TV's, and the Channel Scan does NOT find other OTA stations, then your tuner is broken.       -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558

The walls are lined with metal. I've been told it was zinc, but have no way of checking.   Apply a bit of acid. with a bit of zinc it starts bubbling.

Here in the US I've never seen that done. The light switch on the wall directly controls the power to the light.

But I was aware (having visited several times) that USA was opposite. Maybe something to do with driving on left or right?   Mike.
