Today I bought an AV cable (made in Japan) for my 64. The sound works fine, but I can get no picture. (This is the cable that replaces the rf unit, with a smaller box, and I got an unofficial one).

Does anyone know why I can't get a picture. Please help, as my friends are coming around on monday to play on it! Thanks! ! ! ! ! !

Sorry! My mistake!

Anyway, some TV's will automatically play the sound coming in through the sound imputs, but not the picture... see if there's a button (ie AV3) that will allow you to view the pic?

I don't have scart on my TV, just an RF lead.

Only if you have a Scart TV though... I think, I'm not really sure about these new TVs, cos I just have a rubbish old one...

I've tried fiddling with the controls, but with little success. My N64 is a PAL, but is this just the RF unit, or is this inside the 64 (sorry if I'm confusing you, but I'm already confused! ! ! !). Thanks.
