Why won't my Olevia tv work with N64?

Question

I have a Sega Genesis, N64, and GameCube hooked up via RF adapter. When I try the Sega I get picture and sound. Then when I try the GameCube(which uses the same RF adapter as the N64) I get picture and sound. But when I plug in the adapter to the N64 and try it I get nothing. I have hooked the N64 up thru composite cables and I get both picture and sound but not when I use the RF adapter. I don't want to use composite because I have the one spot for it and the PS2 needs it.

Answer 1

Hard to say as it could be a variety of issues, including the simple fact of the jack for the adapter on the back of the N64 going bad. Have you tried hooking it up to another TV via the RF adapter, and seeing if it worked right? A simple fix might be to just buy a switcher for the setup, and hook all the consoles to the TV via it...



Something similar to:

Most places like Walmart, Bestbuy, etc will carry them, with an average price of 20 dollars US or so. There are also units which will auto switch based on what input is supplying signal, and others that can be controlled via remote control, but they tend to be pricey compared to a simple manual one.
