I cant get it to turn on i would use av cables but i dont have them anymore the rf switch is what plugs in to the cable port and says channel 3 and 4. How do i get it to work?

How do i get it to work?gamer-guy1991

My TV has two input modes. One is for cable/RF and the other is for everything else (s-vid, HDMI, etc). If you're in RF/cable mode you should see static on the screen. When using the cable mode you should be able to manually enter a channel number (03 or 02). Using the automatic channel seeking mode usually won't work.

Since the N64's cable will work with an older TV there are no issues with the cable itself. If you've got the right input mode and channel it should work fine. Remember that eventually you can upgrade the N64's AV cable using any SNES or Gamecube compatible cable. I use a GC s-video cable on mine which provides a pretty nice picture.
