Nes Nintendo Channel Trouble

Original-Style Super NES RF to TV Hookup



Installation Steps:

Locate the TV's VHF IN [ANT, CATV, or 75(ohm)] or Cable Connector.
Disconnect the existing cable wire from the TV's VHF IN.
Connect the short, thick wire from the RF Switch (labeled ANT) to your TV's VHF IN.
Reconnect the existing cable wire (disconnected in step 2) to the silver post labeled ANT on the RF switch.
Connect the thin wire of the RF Switch (labeled Control Deck) to the back of the Super NES (labled RF Out).
On the back of the Super NES, set the 3/4 switch so that it matches the channel of the TV.
Note: The RF Switch does not produce stereo sound. To get stereo sound, connect your Control Deck to your TV or VCR using the Stereo Audio/Video Cable.

After the system is connected to the TV:

Insert the Game Pak firmly into the Control Deck.
Plug the controller(s) into the front of the Control Deck. Use the far left port for a one player game.
Plug the AC Adapter into the back of the Control Deck. Plug the other end of the cord into a wall outlet.
Slide the Power Switch to the On position.
Turn on the TV and set it to the appropriate channel (3 or 4.)
The game image should now be displayed on the TV screen. You are ready to play!
If after following these directions you are not able to view the game, try our Troubleshooting Tips.

Well the gray screen means that the pinconnecter needs to be replaced then.

Hi,

You can try to change the input to Video instead of channel 3 since you're using a RCA (Red, Yellow and White) cable.

Thanks for using Fixya.

Use the RCA AVI outlets on the side of the NES and not the RFI (cable) outlet on the rear of the unit. Tune your TV to the appropriate Video Input channel.

If still no signal, try another set of AVI cables.

Try the console on another television.

If no output from the NES, then it will require refurbishment. Click here for more information.

Please let me know how I may assist further.

Hi your NES should have on it's right hand side 2 Audio Video inputs have you tried connecting it to your TV via Audeo Video Cable and selecting Video channel on your TV dont worry about using the old RF switch they are for older TV Units. Here is a picture of what the AV Cables look like http://www.gameoz.com.au/store/nintendo-entertainment-system/nes-accessories/nintendo-nes-audio-video-cable-no-more-tuning.html

Make sure everything's connected in the correct sockets. Turn the SNES on, change to one of the Analogue channels (one of the channels which you control with the TV remote) and start scanning for a signal. The RF cable has to be connected to the analogue port (where a TV aerial would plug in to get analogue channels) and the SNES needs to be switched on.

The alternative is to get a SCART-compatible cable that works with a Gamecube or an N64 and use it with the SNES, as Nintendo had the foresight to add an EXT port which'll let you play the SNES on an AV channel.

U R AN IDIOT!!!! GO BUY THE CABLE ON EBAY!!!! ITS PROBABLY LIKE $4

Super Nintendo doesn't work with new TV's.

channel 3 is the correct channel. Blow the dust out of the cardridge and console and see if it works.

Check on the back of the nintendo system if it is on same channel as tv, little switch is on the back next to the power cord.

example..tv channel 3 and nintendo system channel 3

If that doesn't work your cable is not properly connected, You can't use both rf switch and av cable. It one or the other. rf connect in the back and to coax cable. Av cable connect on the right side of the system and front input on tv..


Make sure your games are clean also. Good Luck.
