I have hooked up my RCA UTV to a Toshiba monitor through a Yamaha HT receiver (UTV S-video out => Video 1 on the Toshiba, UTV composite out => Video 2 on the Toshiba). Works just fine. Also have a second (slave) TV hooked up directly to the UTV's coax "Antenna Out TO TV" jack. That also works fine.
But I have rabbit ears plugged into the coax "Antenna In to TV" jack on UTV, and pressing the "Antenna" button on the remote does nothing. I called UTV, who said that pressing the button should turn off the unit and send the antenna signal to the TV (presumably as a pass-thru).
On my system, pressing the button does NOT turn off the UTV unit, and I can't seem to get antenna signal out of any jack. But if I turn off the UTV unit manually, the antenna signal does come out of the coax jack to the slave TV. Unfortunately, I get a blank screen on the Toshiba via the Yamaha (unless of course I redirect the coax from the slave directly into the Toshiba).
I could use some help with some perplexing questions:
1) What is "normal behavior" for the Antenna button?
2) Any ideas on how to get antenna signal to the Toshiba via the Yamaha?
3) Any ways to test if I have a broken remote, or a dysfunctional UTV receiver, regarding the Antenna button?
Thanks in advance!
