Hooking my SNES via the RF switch to the back of my TV is inconvenient and the bolt is starting to get worn/stripped. I cannot plug my cablebox cable to the Nintendo RF because it doesn’t fit, so I have to move my TV and unplug the cable whenever I want to play on my system. It would be much easier to have it plugged in through the back of the VCR I had and use it as the midway because its A/V hookup is real easy. I tried Nintendo’s directions several times and I’m not getting a SNES signal through the VCR to the TV (it’s a cathode ray tv). The SNES channel setting and the VCR’s are both on 3. I tried both turning the SNES on through the VCR while the TV is on Channel 3 (with my cablebox still plugged in), as well as putting the TV on Auxiliary like how I would watch a video, and it doesn’t work that way either. I also disconnected the cablebox just in case that would make a difference and tried both while on the static Channel 3 and on Auxiliary with the VCR on.

Is there a step I’m missing? Should I just continue plugging my SNES RF cable directly into the back of my TV, or should I buy a Multi-Out A/V which would just connect to the TV A/V and would be easier (and work, hopefully).
Hope this makes sense, I tried to be as clear as possible

I’d recommend trying the multi-out A/V, since it sounds like a simpler solution and would give you better picture quality as well. If that doesn’t work, you can always return it.
Now playing: SNES - Phalanx, R-Type III, Genesis - Bio Hazard Battle, PS3 - Dragon's Crown

Definitely go with the composite cables. Just try and find an original nintendo one on ebay or something. The third party stuff sometimes lack in quality. We’re talking analogue signals here after all.
I have Asperger's Syndrome, which means i can come across as rigid and overly argumentative. Please try and look past this and contact me if you have a problem with what/how i type. I type and read very literally and use no undertones. Thank you for trying to understand. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.....r_syndrome

Getting the Nintendo brand A/V cable would make your life so much easier. They are relatively inexpensive. Tell us what you end up doing.

I got the A/V cable straight from Nintendo – they had cheaper ones from third party sellers online but I thought my best bet would just be Nintendo direct.
Super Mario All-Stars looks the best, I’ve played most of my other games and they look about the same as with RF.
Mega Man X looks only slightly better.
Certainly happier though! Now to enjoy my SNES even more 🙂
