NES/SNES/Sega Genesis Universal RF Unit Automatic TV/Game Switch

The package and product look nothing like the picture, and the RF thing was useless with my genesis 1. but, the cord that came with it worked perfectly. Thanks!

First of all, the item that arrived didn't even closely resemble the picture presented but that's ok, as long as it works right? It doesn't. As soon as I took this plastic mess out of the box I knew it wasn't going to work on my NES “toploader.” The problem is that the toploader, unlike the original NES, doesn't provide the option to use av cables; connecting via rf is your only option, this being the reason why I ordered an rf switch in the first place. The amazing thing about this product however is that it’s lacking an “rf out” input. You have to connect this rf box to your console via the AV input, which my console doesn't have... If I had the option to use av cables, please for the love of god tell me why I wouldn't just use av cables! They're much cheaper and less awkward than an rf switch and the picture and sound is better also! I don’t have that option for my nes, that’s why I bought this crap-factory! How could they exclude the “rf out” jack? This product only works for people who have the option to use AV cables but choose to go RF. Why anyone would CHOOSE to use an rf switch over av cables is beyond my comprehension and defies all logic and common sense. I'm sure this product works for the old-school nes which actually does have an av input but again, if there exists an option to use av cables, there is no reason in this universe to use the rf over av cables. This isn't 1985 anymore, av cables are extremely common and can be bought at the 99¢ store. I bought an rf switch because I NEED an rf switch–one that connects via the antenna– not one that only connects via av input, I would just use the av cables!! The only use for this product that I can think of is someone who has a video game system (with av inputs) but only has a very old tv that doesn’t have the av inputs in the back. It's like okay, I have this video game system that I want to play and I’m modern enough to have access to the internet so that I can buy parts for it online, but my ONLY tv is a 1974 panasonic and I'm never upgrading to anything else. That’s the only person who would need to buy this. Even if someone who had the option to use av cables but wanted to be “hardcore” and play it “old-school” style with an rf switch even though it’s almost ten times more expensive that way and with lesser picture and sound, that person would imaginably be so hardcore that they would buy an original, overly expensive but officially licensed rf switch made by Nintendo, not this horrible monstrosity! Sorry for the rant but it just blows my mind and I can't wrap my head around it. Now I have to spend even more money on an original nes rf switch which is what I should have done in the first place but I cheaped out and got this. Not the sellers fault, I'm sure they have no idea what kind of an abomination this product is.

But, it won't work for an NES or Genesis 1 like I was led to believe from the product ad. Label on the packaging inside says it is for newer systems. Might work for an SNES, though, but that wasn't what I needed it for.

Its not working that good due to connections on sega box is not tight. I have to keep moving it to get it to work right.

I bought this for my old nes. And it works fine for that but you have to put your TV on Channel 4 just like the good old days. The con I've found with this is that it doesnt do a good job relaying the cable signal. For example. Cable tv works fine when it is hooked directly to the TV but When the cable line is hooked up to this my tv loses signal and you have to wiggle the RF Unit. This is fine for me though because I am getting rid of cable anyway.UPDATE:I should mention than my NES is a toploading console.Also this works with the snes as well

I bought this for use with my SNES and Sega Genesis mainly just for the ease of leaving them both hooked up and not having to constantly change out cords. It works and fits great!

This item was frustrating. I purchased this adapter so my fiancee could play her old Nintendo. The original adapter that came with the system was worn out and the connector for the back of the TV set had fallen off. So, I figured this one would do the trick.After connecting this adapter I noticed that there were lines of electrical interference running through the picture. No matter what I did, these lines would not go away. Eventually, I threw this item in the trash and used a piece of electrical tape to fix the original game adapter and, although ghetto-rigged...it looked perfect.Save your money on this item!

Fast ship. Nice product.
