Which bracket to buy for TV

Surprised to find out - and today, manufacturers are releasing TV sets on a cathode-ray tube. Look at the curious model of black and white TV Vitek VT-3552.It is worth a penny, consumes 8 watts, and the diagonal size is 5.5 inches. At the same time we will understand which kineskopny TV to buy.

Kinescopic TVs and digital broadcasting

At frequencies, information is transmitted in analog form and digital. From the point of view of the antenna, nothing changes - the polarization of the signal is horizontal, one cannot say the same about TV.The country is moving to a new broadcast plan, old TV sets will not be needed.

Now about the frequencies. In the USSR, broadcasting was conducted on:

1. MW - from the 1st to the 5th channel( 48 - 100 MHz).
2. UHF - from the 6th to the 12th channel( 176-230 MHz).

TV purchased in the USSR, will show only these channels, and analog broadcasting. Today it is only the first, Russia has resolved in the regions. Previously, they tried to occupy bands, today a new one has appeared:

1. The UHF channels from 21 to 69 are in the range from 370 to 862 MHz. This band appeared in Russian television after restructuring. And not always the channel number coincides with the frequency. For example, channels 100. Customize! But there is no connection with frequencies. Do not look for the first Moscow multiplex on channel 32.Enter the setup menu, select the UHF sub-range and search for the desired one. If the TV has a built-in receiver of DVB-T format( DVB-T2).
2. Radio channels complied with the European mode and are now in the FM band, frequencies from 87.5 to 108 MHz. It differs from television in the form of polarization. The radio is vertical. And the television signal is rarely superimposed. There are also nuances in modulation, an old Soviet receiver does not understand all transmissions.

Radio broadcasting is still conducted on HF( from 3 to 12 MHz), CB( from 1.5 MHz to 300 kHz) and LW.Now the theory:

• In order for the TV to catch the wave, two things are needed: the antenna and the ability to select the desired channel as input cascades.

On old TVs there were sockets for two antennas, MF and UHF, when inserting plugs, it is important not to confuse. Today's antennas are all-band and cover HF, FM and UHF with digital channels. That TV must be chosen wisely. The old Soviet TV will not catch the digital 32nd channel, this possibility is not laid. Only from 1st to 12th. Buying an external receiver does not help, you need a bunch of tricks.

Modern kinescopic TVs are able to catch the entire broadcast band. In the aforementioned Vitek VT-3552, tuning is performed by switching the subband knobs. Plus a number of pens are responsible for the mode. Want to match - do not take an analog TV!Look at the characteristics: is there any mention of digital television or DVB-T?If not, the TV for receiving terrestrial broadcast multiplexes will not work. You will have to buy an external console, but you will need a special entrance. This will be a composite 3RCA tulip.

Now consider the implementation in a black and white portable TV Vitek VT-3552.

Portable Kinescope TV Vitek VT-3552

Manufacturers of kinescope TVs are far from the reality, but not Vitek. The VT-3552 TV is powered by a cigarette lighter and is charged by battery. Inside is a whole suitcase of eight batteries. The device consumes 8 watts. The diagonal of the kinescope is 5.5 inches, the device is the smallest in this family.

From the instructions you can see a lot of ranges. But can a television receive digital broadcasting? We believe the answer is negative. But there is an opportunity to catch the radio, including the range of CB:

• Television:

1. 1-5 channels( VHF lo);
2. 6-12 channels( VHF hi);
3. 21-69 channels( UHF).

• Radio:

1. Medium Wave( AM).
2. VHF.
3. FM.

Ranges are divided according to switch positions on the right side. You see, from the point of view of frequencies, the HF( where the broadcast is coming to naught) and LW( where there are few channels) are missing. A portable CRT TV will not be able to receive digital channels. But the opportunity for docking with external equipment is laid: there are two entrances on the rear panel.

1. Video input.
2. Audio Input.

This is a composite input for a single speaker system. Take the “tulip” cord from the tuner and hook to the TV as follows:

• A yellow RCA plug on the video.
• White RCA audio plug. Here is the left column, it usually serves as the default output. It is clear that some of the sound will be lost in stereo mode. If you want, stick it in red, but this is not the way to do it.

What else is interesting about this TV?The setting is completely manual. As in the old receiver, there is a knob for catching channels. The TV / radio mode is switched by the button located on the left side of the scale, plus you need to correctly set the lever with three positions( one of them is the charge) on the right wall. TV set up, going through the ranges.

Video Input is used to watch DVD and Blu-ray. Do not expect high quality from the screen with a resolution not specified in the instructions. Dimensions of kinescopic TVs are significant, but the crumb easily fits in the car. Most importantly, it catches almost everything and an external antenna is allowed.

When choosing, do not forget - the input resistance is 75 Ohms( in radio receivers, usually 50 Ohms).This concerns the coordination of the device for high-quality listening.

And finally, why this device? The TV seems to be specially made for Russia, its taiga, steppes. It would seem, buy a TV from Asuka Semiconductor with LCD display. Here and automatic channel setting, and touch control. But how to take in the taiga? Looking in rough mud huts, wintering? We believe most will prefer the Vitek with its rough mechanical controls. You can use right through mittens. There is a tangible safety margin in the TV, although according to its characteristics, the element base of Taiwan is ahead of the VT-3552 CRT television.

How to choose a kinescope TV

It is easier to start choosing a kinescope television from a Yandex Market. We noticed, we started talking about the goods with the hands, which was already in use. The price of a new digital TV is available.

Rule 1. You need to watch a kinescope TV from a distance of 3-5 diagonals. Take care to measure your home space in advance. Consider installation options.

Earlier on old television sets there was a glass protection, saving the eyes of viewers from the influence of the kinescope. Separate the TV from the viewers with a transparent barrier. For example, on the loggia. And look from the room. And the sound? Either choose a device with external speakers, or slightly open the balcony door.

Rule 2. For catching digital broadcasting, purchase a receiver with a built-in receiver. Otherwise, you will have to buy the device separately.

Looking through the Yandex market, do not find such models? Many manufacturers do not equip CRT TV receiver. Vitek is not alone. Under the brand name Pantron comes the line of kinescopic TVs with DVB-T.There is no Russian language in the menu, the price needs to be checked with the manufacturer, but DVB-T is there.

Learn Chinese to negotiate with the Pantron, or prepare money for the receiver by buying a CRT TV.It is easier to add 1-1,5 thousand, buy a normal LCD with built-in DVB-T2 and good resolution in addition. And further, is there a desire to study the parameters of kinescopic TVs before losing the pulse?

Rule 3. Most kinescopic TVs are analog devices, but modern ones are supplemented with Tulip inputs, allowing you to watch any session.

DVD, tuners are provided for backward compatibility with analog outputs. When buying a TV, make sure you have SACRT any tulip. In the first case, solder the adapter, in the second, look like this. We hope, use the advice when buying a CRT TV.Ask and remember - digital broadcasting is replacing analog.
