Hello guys, long time lurker
I have a few Famicom units I want to test. Some are Hong Kong models, so they run PAL colours and come with a 50/60Hz switch at the back and an original 220V AC adapter.
I finally managed to buy an old CRT TV, Sharp VT-1428M, specs attached to the post.
So... when I plug the RF cable directly on the TV, and go to channel 4, I see the game turning on and a very faint image, but it's 90% covered in noise. Do I need a PAL NES RF switch to make things look normal?
The Hong Kong Famicom was not sold with any switch... so I'm a bit puzzled. Shouldn't it work properly with direct RF connection? The TV is Hong Kong standard too!
