This is in Co-ordenance with my Other thread.
I recently Bought a Super 57000 Video Game Console. Its a NOAC inside a PS Case.
My TV is old, It takes the Two Prongs at the back, My dad bought a Converter that changed RF to The Prongs.

The Super 57000 Gives AV (Just Red and Yellow).
I found my old CEASED VCR (Cant play Movies), But it works and Turns on. So Today, I took my Super 57000's AV Cables and Plugged them into the Correct In/Out Slots on tHe VCR, Pluged the RF to TV thing in the VCR.

Turned my VCR Default Channel on 3, Turned on Super 57000, then turned on TV (Channel 3 also).
(My VCR Sets on my TV so i got Magnitism now I have a Black Space on top of screen But eh, This isnt about that).
Now its all turned on, But im still getting Static Like no reception, BUT When i press start On the Controller, or Press reset Button on console, I get a response on the TV, Kinda like the screen is changing, and I get a Lil Sound.( No picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

How Come im not getting the Correct Visual?
Is my TV too Old even with the adaptor?
and The console can Also take RF Switch, BUT Its a weird RF Input...
(Okay, The RF Slot on the Console Is a Round hole, Just like the AV Slots, Ive never seena RF Switch that can fit a Hole like that.. Have you?)

Thanks for Reading.
I hope I can get some help here.
(The Console has been Tested and it worked)

Yes, BUT there is no RF to antenna (As I dont have an Antenna. But the instructions that came with console said it accepts RF to antenna)

Well you're screwed.......that setup is completly right, and if you had all the settings right, then nothing can b done

Seariously tho, if you ever get 100 bucks, buy a new TV

I believe the VCR is the weak link here.

If you have another TV anywhere else, plug the game into it and try there.

OR, did you set the VCR to look at the AV inputs instead of its RF tuner?

EDIT: Sometimes things use channels 2 or 4. Try that.

is there not like a line in channel on your VCR because that might be the problem, also check your AV plugs and make sure that you didn't put the video plug in the out port an accident.

so the console has a wierd RF output? do what i do whenever something's there but wierd: make an adapter. since the RF out on your VCR doesn't work, take the plug out of the VCR and put it in the console and solder it to the wierd RF plug so you can connect the console straight to the TV.

You're joking right?

You don't own a NES with an RF adapter?

Get one off of ebay for ub3r cheap.

NES RF for $2.50

or go to a local videogame store and ask them if they havce any extras.

Yeah, that's a pretty good bet for some useless thing like this that only one person in the world would ever still need.

I have this little thingy that goes plugs into the RF port and you can plug standard AV cables into that. I have, like, 6 different kinds... Works great for the TV I have
