I think he probably did that just in case someone only has the red and white audio connectors. The RCA cables came with all three and also with just red and white. The NES is not in stereo, which means he only needed one for audio. All three colors could be changed around as long as you hooked them up to the correct ports on the other side.
I'm wondering that as well. Also why does it have to be channel 4? Doesn't that matter only if using a coax where you'd then tune your tv to ch 3 or 4?
I premiered this video. Well done for the restoration and setting it up! It took me back to the 80s and 90s. It was interesting comparing it with your emulation videos vs the real thing. The latter stretched it out wide, but looked smooth. An emulator would know to go 4:3.
@@OfficialChaseBrogan It stretches out well. The user can override it on the TV. I was also impressed you didn't get a snowy picture, unlike the Amiga with an RF modulator. Tuning the TV with Channel 36 works better on smaller CRTs: a lot of the signal is lost, but was common back in the day. The SCART adapter resolves this.
I'm Stuck!! Just got a black screen on my vizio tv that is a few years old. It has the colored (not yellow) ports on the side that I hooked up just like you did on your adapter. Was hoping it would work for my 3 y.o. grandson :( Any suggestions???
I believe the green port works as a yellow port on TV's that support both types of colored inputs. I don't know if that still works now days but it's worth a try
I'm not getting picture or audio. I am using the HDMI converter plugged into the TV. I have tried 720 and 1080. I am not getting the "Input" error on TV. I am not getting anything on HDMI 1 OR 2 when attempting either Input mode. NES is not blinking, cartridge(s) is down. How do I know converter is not the problem?
lol I about died when you fired it up and said "I'm just running through it here" while B button clearly not being held and Mario walking through the level. Sorry just found it funny I know what you mean but I try teach my kids how to play and am like "Hold the B Button or You Won't Make The Jump!"
After checking that proper system setup. Clean the cart and the cartridge port. While system is on and the game is in down positions gently move/wiggle cart until solid screen achieved. Reset and repeat until game picture is clear. Next check the board. If all things look like it should, move to the lock out chip and disable the third pin on right side. There are videos on TH-cam that gives instructions. If that doesn't work, you will need to replace the port pins on the motherboard. These are getting harder to find but these are out there.
Hi! I really like your video. I tried your way, but my light is blinking red. My TV has an HDMI *and* AV red, yellow, white ports. I tried the AV set up, and followed your directions meticulously but no dice. Should I try the HDMI set up with a converter? Thank you for your help!
I have a nes snes and n64 hooked up through the same set up to a 4k HD TV. And the picture horrible. Super blurry. If I buy a HD TV with component inputs will it give me a clear picture? Not sure what the issue is
my friend, great video. I tried the same but for some reason I see multiple lines on the screen and it "shows image, disappears, shows again, disappears". Do you have any clue?
Did the setup with the same adapter and everything and I’m 99% sure it shorted my nes. Someone please let me know if there’s anything I can do to fix it
I was gifted one of this but the previous owner gave me the wrong power cord. After watching your video I’m now afraid to buy one on ebay and brake it. Do you have a suggestion on where can I find a trustable cable?
A lot of generic power supplies, btw, might say same Volts (9V) but are WRONG amps. This will matter. Generic usually show .835amps but the OEM power supply is 1.3 amps. FYI
A couple of addendums to your video. When it comes to RCA cables, they are, what I call, color-coded for dummies. Sorry to put it this way, but let me explain,. It doesn't matter which colored wire you use as long as both ends are connected to the same RCA port. For example, you could use the red wire for the video as long as both ends are connected to the video ports. But omitting the use of the yellow wire made absolutely zero sense to me when yellow has always been the designated color port for video. If you show me an electronic device that uses an RCA connection that DOES NOT use yellow for the input or output for the video connection, then I will show you a 3-dollar bill. Next, when connecting your NES via RCA, it does not matter which channel on the back is selected as that is only used when connecting the NES via RF. When using the converter, you need to choose the video output prior to turning on your connected console. For the NES, SNES, and Genesis, use 780p for the best resolution. One last thing, When he was talking about only using the original NES AC adaptor, he was correct. I have personally seen one that claims to be 3-in-1 that is supposed to be compatible with the NES, SNES, and Genesis. Avoid that particular one. You can usually find original AC adaptors in most retro gaming stores.
I’ve tried this with two different tvs and the screen is just pure white. Not the kind when the cartridge isn’t working all that great but like I’m on the wrong thing. And both tvs say Av ntsc?
If you have multiple input options on the TV remote try something else. I had the same issue on my VHS and I switched from aux input to component and it worked. (Or component to aux. Can't remember).
I have have set my nes up just like that way you have. The HDMI adaptor is even the exact same. But the resolution is no where near as clear as yours. Its not awful but its not as good as yours, theres a significant difference. Its very pixilated and theedges of text and objects in the game are quite rough and bumpy. Not as smooth as yours. Any advice on how to make the visuals smoother?
These adapters have changed for the worse. I'd bet yours is newer than mine because many have complained about them. Mine is about 3 years old. I just got another one same exact one and like you said it's significantly different now. On my ps2 it was so bad I wouldn't even play with it connected. I assume they are using inferior parts now.
Back in the day, it was more common to connect it with a coax cable, but that would have been connected to a separate small converter called an RF switch. Then the RF switch would be plugged into the rca port next to the channel switch. Then you would change to the channel to 3 or 4, whichever came in the clearest. Usually channel 3 since there were no tv stations that broadcasted on it. He didn’t need to change the switch in the video since he was using an HDMI converter.
Then it doesn't work haha it probably has a bad power cable or the power port could be bad on the console. Could be a bunch of things wrong causing it.
What is the reason behind switching white and yellow? I always thought white was another sound in/out for stereo, not video.

Yep! That's the Av to hdmi converter that stretches it out when converting over to hdmi.

Thanks! Helped a lot. Great mic quality.
I hook my NES about 21 years ago back in mid 2002 at my now-late grandmother's house. I'm planning to get another one soon for my house.
Delighted with your video. Helped us a lot 👍🏻✌🏻
Thanks brother. The converter is what I needed to figure out

It’s probably your pin connectors that aren’t reading the game

same!
Any solution?
I came here for the same questions
I used to connect my nes to a car battery and it worked fine from 4 volts-12 volts the amps didn't matter. A very forgiving unit
lol I about died when you fired it up and said "I'm just running through it here" while B button clearly not being held and Mario walking through the level. Sorry just found it funny I know what you mean but I try teach my kids how to play and am like "Hold the B Button or You Won't Make The Jump!"
I loved the 1-1 gameplay.
connected with RCA cables in back but video not even close to clear jumpy , would the converter help
Thanks, this is sooooo helpful in getting me started. I have sound but no video. An occasional squiggly picture is all I can see.

I hope you won your MMA fight before making this video!
😂 right?
Great tutorial, helped bunches!
thank you
helps a lot!
Glad to hear it
Black Nitrile Exam gloves is a must!
Lmao I was restoring a old nasty console right beforehand
my friend, great video. I tried the same but for some reason I see multiple lines on the screen and it "shows image, disappears, shows again, disappears". Do you have any clue?
Great tutorial! I followed everything from your video but I don’t have sound. How can I fix to have sound while playing?
You didn't blow the cartridge and console
He replaced or fixed his connector pins
What channel tv should be on
Skip video read this. 1.Plug your power in wall. 2. Plug av in av on back of tv. Enjoy.
Excellent tutorial! Thank you.
Did the setup with the same adapter and everything and I’m 99% sure it shorted my nes. Someone please let me know if there’s anything I can do to fix it
Great video 👍 thanks..
Do I need to wear the gloves also when hooking it up so I dont get dirty
Haha depends on your console and how dirty it is. I had just cleaned up the console so I still had them on from that.
🤣🤣🤣
I really need to get those
How do I do this same Picture in Picture if I want to stream myself playing?
My TV has the 3 component section. My case I just plug them in? Thanks.
Red white yellow components? Just attach as show in the video. You have the twitch them out a little as shown or it won't show up on the tv correctly.
@@OfficialChaseBrogan thanks bud im going to see what my TV has today I also added that to my cart just in case I need it I also had a supper nito
Y do u have gloves on?
What source do i need to put my tv on?? Nobody talks about that, my tv just has a blue screen that says no signal. What do i do w my tv
Whatever Port the HDMI is connected to would be the source you use. Usually called HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 on your tv
Do you experience any lag going through the converter?
Thank u bro

I set up my NES on my HDMI, it played a little bit then when I inserted another game, it said "no signal"... How can I fix it?
So there's no channel 3 requirement to play😅 Just hdmi input. All game systems ran on channel 3 back in the day.
This doesnt work for me i tried everything
Can u connect that console to laptop? Pls let me know
It doenst work for me😢.
It gives me blue snow effect. Could it be the wrong adapter?
Genius, thank you. Damn white into yellow got me - makes no intuitive sense!
I agree!
I tried this and it just gives me a solid pink screen.
same except it was green
I’ve tried this with two different tvs and the screen is just pure white. Not the kind when the cartridge isn’t working all that great but like I’m on the wrong thing. And both tvs say Av ntsc?
Same thing is happening to me, did you ever solve the issue?
Question, got mine working, but it’s in black and white. Is something off?
If you have multiple input options on the TV remote try something else. I had the same issue on my VHS and I switched from aux input to component and it worked. (Or component to aux. Can't remember).

Question where did you get your NES?
Shop goodwill - the website . Love getting stuff there.
I'm a professional dumpster diver, and found one in the trash. Older Lady had passed, and her kids dumped her entire house. Very sad!
I just have a white screen... no picture?
Push down the game inside to make it work
Bro the tv already has av ports
My NES power light is blinking. What does that mean?
Mine to
Jiggle the game cartridge back and forth a little bit. There is a TH-cam that gives you some solutions, as well.
Why does the duck game don’t work on new tvs ?
Maybe to do with the resolution.
Don't you need coax cable?

You did not mention what settings your tv need to be on…
HDMI
Why CH 4?
You never tell the tv settings?
Input to component that's it
What happens if it doesn’t turn on
Then it doesn't work haha it probably has a bad power cable or the power port could be bad on the console. Could be a bunch of things wrong causing it.
