| Connecting Nintendo to newer TV
Hi all.
I have a regular Nintendo I wanted to connect to my 37" LCD.
Nintendo has coaxial output. Is there any way to convert this to RCA or S-Video or component, etc?
TV does not have a tuner in it.
Ive been checking out various products , most seem to convert RCA or component back down to coax..
thx |

3 edits | The nintendos have a converter to regular composite video or you can run it through a "b" antenna which many sets and some VCRs have.
I believe it is a RF modulator

My old nintendo (original nintendo) has RCA outputs already on the side.
It is only mono for sound, but it will get the job done.
If your TV has RCA inputs just go buy you an RCA cable and you are good to go. |

That RCA isnt working, the coax still does though. Back to looking at modulators. Thanks! |

A modulator is the opposite of what you need. I'd use a VCR, plug your RF out from the Nintendo into the VCR's antenna input and tune it to the channel (usually 3 or 4) that the Nintendo modulates on. Then use the composite video out of the VCR into your TV.
Cheapest and easiest way to add a tuner to your TV. |

I dont have a VCR, was looking for something a little smaller.
Clearly I need a tuner as opposed to a modulator though, thx! |

| How about a DVD Burner? Most of those now have tuners and A/V inputs.
So the yellow and red jacks on the side of your nintendo don't work? I used to use them way back in the day, I never had any issues.
Yellow (Video) to an input on your TV.
Red (Audio) to an input on your TV.
Select the appropriate input using your TV's remote.
I guess if it doesn't work you have a bad cable or the NES really does have bad ports. That's a bummer. |
