A1200 display

JACK98 · 20 November 2008, 23:34

Just received A1200.worked perfectly.have a feeling its interfering with my crappy tv so i have to try it on another tv. On another tv and pic quality wasn't great either.Before considering that the modulator was at fault.I tried my tv cable from the cd32.Noteing that "coax cable" was written on side of it.and tried it on A1200 and the picture was perfect!.i moved it a little bit to make sure and it was perfect

so was it just the RF cable faulty and should i just stick to coax cables?

RF cables are supposed to be coax cables, so my guess is that your RF cable is faulty. Just stick to the cable that works best.

Just tried the A1200 cable on cd32.And yup its faulty.Amazing how the things you least suspect can do it!

Picture is not a sharp.Small bit of tint.Maybe is the tv/rf cable technology.

Why not use RCA cables on both the 1200 and CD32? surely better than RF and then tuning your TV in.

Is the A1200 case fragile or just made from crap plastic?.I was opening it up to see where the hard drive goes in.Anyways as i screwed it back together,i realize that some of the screws weren't going in.

Perhaps not you but sounds like someone has put bigger screws in than the originals were
