[tomyou]

Didn't I read on here a while back that the atari system do no work well or at all using a direct video connection on the video 1 or 2 channels ont he newer tv. I have a customer having a problem and I was thinking I read something similar on a post here a while back. Thanks for any input of info

Hi Tomyou,

 

Unless you have a 2600 that has been modified with composite or S-Video output, you can't use it with a direct video input. However, you can get a fairly clean picture using coaxial/antenna input if you use an F-Type to RCA adapter. You can see more nformation about that here.

 

Hope this helps,

Yeah! And that will give you a fantastic picture. I use that for the 2600, 7800 and Odyssey 2 and have never seen the picture look so good on any of those systems.

 

In my opinion, that method is the only way to go -- forget about that leaky, junky RF modulator.

I got one of these 'upgrade' kits a while back and the picture quality got better.You do have to open up the 2600 and plug the cable in, but it comes with instructions(and I was able to install the cable without breaking anything, so it can be done!).
