bikeguychicago Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I have my 7800 hooked to my TV using the RF connection with an RCA adapter. The adapter is then connected to a switch box similar to this one, which feeds into the TV. I also have two other consoles connected in the same manner. The problem I am running into is that the video signal coming from the 7800 is filled with static and noise whereas the other two consoles (Intellivision I & II) are of very good quality and don't have anywhere near the picture degradation. I will probably get the composite mod done on the unit at some point. But I am trying to see if there's anything I can do to improve the picture quality with my current setup in the interim. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Try replacing the RF wire. Use a thicker, shielded RCA wire, most modern RCA wires are shielded and have the gold connections. And I heard this is the guy to send your 7800 to when your ready for an AV mod. http://electronicsentimentalities.com/InstallationServices.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeguychicago Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 I tried to use a spare RF cable I had from my Intellivision with the 7800 but the plug didn't fit. Is there a source of shielded RF cables that are compatible with the 7800? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Any RCA cable should fit, I suppose if the plastic boot around the plug is too big, it could be a less than perfect fit. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102945 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
