Modern TV coaxial hookup- no sound

[dubxcube]

I was able to hook up my 2600 to one of my HDTVs with a coaxial/rf adapter and got a significant amount of static and scrolling. On my other- slightly older- HDTV I was able to get a beautiful clear picture, but no sound.

 

Why no sound? Any suggestions?

I don't know the exact answer but I would be interested in seeing other answers. I read negative comments all the time about LCD TVs, yet I use various RF-coax all the time with my cheapie Dynex TV and it has great picture and sound.

Does either set claim to be analog NTSC-compatible?

Not that I'm aware of, but I'll take a look. By now, the manuals are long gone- but info might be on the labeling on the back of the sets

[dubxcube]

Nothing on the back with an indication about NTSC or otherwise

The newer tv with all the static interference at least had some sound if you turned it up quite a bit- but the static noise overpowered it

Hmmm... I usually see way more responses to issues about hook king Ataris up. Perhaps this should be in a different forum on here?

Do you have access to a CRT you can test the console with? Could be the console's fault.

Unfortunately I don't. Nor do I know anyone locally that I could so that with. It did produce sound on my main TV set- just was overpowered by the static interference
