    Hi all just recently pulled out my old N64 and blew off it's dust with the intentions of playing some Ocarina of Time :) However, I'm having some problems tuning it to a channel to play it. The television is Playsonic and the way I've been trying to tune by pressing menu and pressing auto program on certain channels. When I try it on say channel 14 it gets to about 60% and I can see some cinematic game play of Ocarina of Time. I'm mainly wondering am I doing it right and what channel should I be on? There doesn't seem to be a model name on the TV just PLAYSONIC I can put a picture up if that helps. Any help is appreciated I'm dieing to play some of my favourite levels such as the Water Temple :/

    Can you manually tune it?

    Yep there is a manual tuning option but for some reason it isn't working at all? There's a high chance I'm doing it wrong as I'm not used to tuning it.

    Just look on Adverts and get an AV cable, a cheap composite one will do.
    The picture from the N64 hasn't aged that well and looking at it through an RF like you must be is simply the worst way to do it.
    The composite cable with the red, white and yellow phono plugs at the end can be plugged into the relative ports on the telly or via a scart adapter.
    Here's one that'd be perfect
