Some people are saying that this doesn't work, other people report having no problems simply linking them up. Unfortunately I'm not one of the latter.
@Brasel , I'm particularly curious about your setup, assuming you use an HDTV?

Use the AV cables and it should work. The RC Adapter may give you trouble because it uses the old analog channel switching system that isn't very compatible with digital TVs.
And if your TV hasn't "detected" a channel 3 or 4 in your area, it may not switch to them at all.
From what I've heard some HDTVs have problems with older systems, and some work fine. I have one TV that doesn't work with the older games correctly, the picture keeps jumping up and down.
I haven't had any problems. It doesnt look great but there were no issues at all. No adapters my tv has composite.
my HDTV returns an error message when I switch to composite and turn my NES on.
"Unsupported Mode" (and yes, I'm using AV cables to do this)
People have been telling me that this is because an NES will not work with an HDTV due to changes over the years in display technology. Apparently even in here though, that's utter bull, as people have no problem just connecting the AV cables.
it might depend on the model of the tv, but I have never heard of that. It seems like if the tv would come with composite audio and video it would support older devices like consoles, vcrs, etc.
go throw down $10 dollar on a big ol' old school tv for your nes. :nerd:
AV =/= composite. Your TV should have a mode for each type of input, including AV. I didn't even know composite/component could work with an NES in the first place.
A/V is not composite? Either I have been misinformed or somethings changed. I believe it is called composite because the red, green, and blue signals are combined through one. And all NES toasters have composite video.
