INTV123 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) I was thinking of Modding my 2600 JR to output AV video. I did a mod to my JR around a year ago, and i ended up killing my board when i tried changing the jacks on it, and i can't find the original posting for the mod i Did. I saw this AV mod for the JR, and i was wondering how well it worked. https://atariage.com/howto/composite.html I think i remember some people saying the video quality wasn't the best, but I am just looking for something that is reasonably good enough to use. If the link does not work just try googling "atariage 2600 jr av" Edited January 22, 2019 by INTV123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Will work the same on your 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
root42 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I just got a Jr so I am also looking into this. Seems Tynemouth has some blog articles about modding the Jr: http://blog.tynemouthsoftware.co.uk/2015/02/atari-2600-jr-composite-video-mod.html http://blog.tynemouthsoftware.co.uk/2018/05/easy-atari-2600-vcs-composite-video-mods.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went a step further and avoided the RCA sockets, and hardwired a decent length (2M) composite cable bundle and then tie wrapped it down for strain relief using the holes from the RF jack. The picture is a bit darker than the native RF, but much sharper and clearer, albeit with typical composite dot crawl. You can use the pot on the mainboard to tune the color a bit while the top is off. I found that by just using TV color and brightness controls after everything was complete, all differences could be rectified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
root42 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Sounds good. I will use mine on a Philips CM8833 or Commodore 1084S. Not sure which one I will pick. Probably the latter, since it also has the Amiga attached and the Philips already has my Vader attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
