    That’s so cool i didn’t even know i could use that antenna plug to connect two consoles without constantly needing to unplug and plug one in to the other,
    i have a RF only crt so i thought i could only connect one thing at a time,
    so i should be able to play all three of my consoles without unplugging anything if i get a second plug so i can use my GameCube without switching the plug,
    thanks for explaining that now i can at least play my snes and n64 without needing to constantly change the RF port to the consoles

    my sens turns on-so the power source works, but the picture does not come on. I make sure to turn my tv to antenna channel, but the game does not appear on the screen. What could be the problem?

    Help! I am using the av cable. I have cleaned all the contacts and the cartridge. Power light is on. av cables are in the corresponding color ports on the tv. tv input options are "TV, AV, YPbPr, HDMI, media, and PC". I have tried all of them and nothing works (no audio, no video, just says "no signal" on a blue screen). What would be the problem?

    • @peaches053
      @peaches053 Рік тому

      I would think TV should be the correct input; if you have an old VCR that you can connect your AV to that might be the best roundabout fix. Just need another cable to connect from vcr to antenna on the back of your tv.

    I have a new Samsung TV and tried hooking the Super Nintendo up to the antenna plug with the RF hookup and put the tv on channel 3. It’s also on 3 on the back of the box but it didn’t find the source, Not sure if I’m missing a step or it just won’t work on that tv.

      On both tvs we tried going to a new source input but it couldn’t find a signal.

    So in just tried to hook up my old SNES and the game shows but like 3 seconds later the tv does that squiggly black and white thing then the games comes back on and again the weird screen. I don't know if its a TV issue, cable issue or console/cartridge issue. I tried unplugging the console and blowing the cartridge and still the same issue. I think mines just said nope im done and retired :(

    On a two plug in TV, yellow, white, is incorrect, it has to be red, yellow working your way from left to right. Never assume if you don't have that type of TV, and worst of all, never relay your wrong assumption to a wider audience.
