My friend on another board needs help. Heres the question:

I just got a 24" Samsung flatscreen T.V. with s-video and component inputs. Here's the problem: When I plug in my old systems which use RF outputs (NES, Genesis, Turbo Grafix) the picture jitters slightly. I tried to solve the problem by passing the RF signal through my VCR with no luck. I called samsung tech support and spoke with a few people who knew nothing until I finally reached an engineer. His verdict? The T.V. is a newer digital model, and the signal is analog, and hence the old systems don't work well with the newer technology. This answer is a load of bulls***. I have hooked up my NES to comparable Sony and Toshiba flatscreen televisions before without any apparent issues.

So, my question is: Are there RF to RCA adapters that I could buy that might solve my problem, or should I drag my NES to Best Buy and demand to test the RF on similar flatscreen TVs until I find one that works well, and exchange mine for it. I am still within the initial 30 day window, and although I really don't want to go through the hassle of exchanging what seems to be an otherwise excellent TV, I really need a tube where I can play my favorite old games on without annoying image problems.



Also, its a Top Loader

Might just be a defective TV? If not, it may be just a poorly designed TV altogether. Try using your VCR to input the RF signal and output it to RCA.

That's the method I used on my SNES/N64/Playstation for years, works nicely.

The tech is a liar as well, if it has RF, Composite, and s-video, those are ALL analog signals, so it wouldn't display any of them properly, if that was the problem.
