How to Convert Coaxial Cable to a RCA Demodulator

Coaxial cable is an older style of audio/video cable commonly used to transmit a television programming signal to a TV. Converting the coaxial signal to an RCA demodulator expands the connection option for other electronic devices that are more likely to be equipped with RCA-type composite audio-video jacks. An RCA demodulator is available at most electronics stores.

Instructions

    • 1

      Connect the coaxial cable to the "Input" jack on the RCA demodulator. The coupler on the end of the cable turns clockwise onto the threaded jack on the demodulator.

    • 2

      Insert composite cables into the RCA demodulator, using the yellow cable plug for the video connection, the white plug for the left audio and the red plug for the right audio channel.

    • 3

      Connect the DC power adapter to the demodulator and connect the electrical cord on the other end to a wall outlet.

    • 4

      Attach the opposite end of the coaxial cable and the composite cables to compatible electronic devices for transmitting picture and sound from coaxial to RCA.

Tips & Warnings

  • A VCR can be substituted for a demodulator if the goal is to convert a coaxial output to an RCA input. Connect the coaxial cable to the "RF IN" jack on the VCR, then attach a set of RCA composite cables to the "Output" jacks on the VCR by matching the plug colors to the jacks.

  • Unplug electronic devices from the electricity while connecting AV cables.
