How do I hook my old Atari up to my modern TV?
It may look like a video out cable, but if you plug it into the video (yellow) port of a TV or VCR it won’t work. The Atari output cable is an RF cable designed to play on US TV channel 3 or 4. There are several options available at Radio Shack to hook it up properly. The $3.99 #278-255 Female Phono Jack to Male F-Connector will plug onto the end of your video game’s RF cord and allow it to connect directly to the back of a TV via the 75ohm cable connector. I have these adapters in stock for $2.00 + postage costs. Click to see Atari’s original hook up instructions.
