I just recently had Road Runner installed on my computer, and also got Digital Cable. I had to get new Cable Boxes installed on my set up. Now when I hook the cable up through the Neo RF unit I can't get my system to work... I can get sound, but no picture. I seriously need help. Any help would be appreciated allot. Thanks!

Don't hook it up like that. Try using the A/V cable.

I've never used one of the Neo RF units, so I'm not sure of their behaviour. Are they auto-switching, or do you have to slide a switch manually? Check to make sure the copper wire in the cable isn't bent over or something.

Hey JMKURTZ, I need an AV cable. I didn't get one when I purchased my system. Do you know where I can find one? Can you sell me one?

I have an old Genesis 1 that works with the Neo. I'll let you have it for $8 shipped. Later.

Do Genesis AV cables work with the Neo?!? Do they damage the system after a long period of use??? I'm not really inclined to use this, but If it works without flaw I will.

The Genesis 1 model uses the same AV cable as the Neo. I've never had a problem using it. I often switched back and forth using it on my Neo and Gen until I had my Neo modded for S-Vid, and then aquired a Sega CDX and had that modded for S-Vid also. I used the cable for about 4 months and use it when I take it to my friends house. I'll sell you the one I've used and I'll keep my extra. Maybe that will ease your mind a bit.

Hey Sono,

I'm sorry but I already have a Genesis. I didn't know that you could use the AV cables from it. Thanks for the information! It works like a charm now.

How's that SVid on that CDX working out for you? That's the first CDX I modified

Man, that thing was so small - it was a pain in the ass mounting the SVid jack.

It is so damn sweet to play that thing through S-Vid. I'm going back and playing trough all my RPG's. Right now I'm working on Phantasy Star. This SMS game never looked so great

Thanks for the MOD Jeff. I just got a new digtal TV that is VGA ready with 640x480 diplay. So now I have to save up for an XRGB2 to get the best out of my NEO and SEGA CDX. Dreamcast games look fukin insane on it.
