Will it pass the antenna signal through when the dvd-player iOFF?

[micky]

I have a dvdr with tuner that has anteena in and antenna out connectors,
an dit will pass the antenna signal stright through.

But does that mean it will do this when the player is OFF, also?

I did that. It's ambiguous.

Very long ago, I had the same model and it did indeed pass the signal when the
DVDR was off. It wouldn't be much of a feature if it didn't.

That's what I thought but I wanted to make sure. A) sometimes I have too
many tidbits in my mind and I can't keep track. B) there was evidence
to the contrary...

When the DVDR broke, after 15 years, I connected the antenna co-ax
straight to the RF Modulator (bought when all I had were non-digital
tvs). and I couldn't get other stations but I got channels 13.1-6 very
well on my one smart tv (which also always gets its signal through the
RF modulator.) Then I bought the exact same model dvdr on Ebay and for 3
or 4 days everything worked, but I'm having trouble with the remote
extender and for now I'd be happy just to get those same channel 13's,
or even one of them, but I get nothing even out of the smart TV when the
dvdr is off.

Maybe going through the DVDR weakens the signal compared to being
connected straight to the RF modulator?

Easy enough to check, I suppose.

Well, I did. That's the comparison I described in the long paragraph,
and it appears thatgoing through the DVDR weakens the signal compared to
being connected straight to the RF modulator? I was looking for
agreement, that could well be the case, or confidence it's not the case
and there must be something I've missed.
