Problem with Saturn

[Lauren Tyler]

Just hooked my Saturn up tonight, and I've got an awful buzzing through the speakers, like some kind of interference. Never done this before, any suggestions?

Hey Sega Saturn X do you think you can help me. I was testing some of my Saturns I had put away and when I got to one of them I started having these buzzing noises come out instead of the game audio. I've read about this on a few other places and they just say it is a RF problem and to replace the cable. The problem is that I was using the same A/V cable on all the consoles and this was the only one that did this to me. I know that this machine wasn't doing this prior to me putting it away. I was wondering if anyones ever heard this problem and if it is easy to fix.

 

I attached a wave file of how it sounds. Sorry about the quality, I was just using my computer mic. The noises you hear were not made by the mic either that is how it actually sounds. There is also a good version which I recorded using the same cable and a different Saturn.

 

Thanks

Yeah that is 100% your RF cables or the conection to your tv. It has nothing to do with the system itself if i were you i would invest in some S cables. Since the RF suck any way but i have notives what bad quality those saturn RF cables are. I went through a pair and then decided to upgrade after a very similar problem. Sound has come in clear as a bell ever since.

Agreed with the RF problem, I dont think ive ever been able to tune a saturn in properly. Some av or s-video cables would set you free,
