The misses has been given a Atari games consul!!!

blast from the past or what...

How the hell do you connect it to the tele???..I have a cable from the back to tele..does this go strait into the back of the tele or does the arial plug into it or what :roll:

I am just itching to see it the last time i see one of these was years ago bloody Antique

strapping young lad:
old fashioned way

using the antennae plug in the back

you will need to tune it in to a spare channel.

I have a lenth of cable it came with male and female i assue one end goes into the Atari and the other goes in the back of tele?

funny as the cable that came with it plugs into a v tpye plastic unit which has two outlets does the Arial go in one side of this?

Horness:
Yeah - the V-Type thingy is so you can plug your TV arial back in.

hope this helps a little

Hi Timberdog

I had one of these back in about 1979 / 1980. I guess it is the same one it was called the Atari 2600 if memory serves me.

Hours of fun and mine still works today. Loads of games but need two new joysticks now. I might try ebay...

Anyway in answer to your question

plug one end of the lead into the back of the Atari.
Plug the single end of the "v" connector into the ariel socket on the back of the tv
The ariel plugs into one of the two sockets on the "v" connector
The other end of the lead from the Atari plugs into the other socket on the "v" connector.

Then turn on the Atari and tune a spare tv channel until you see the atari symbol.

Then sit back play and enjoy.

John

PS the V connector is just an ariel splitter to enable you to keep it plugged in without having to keep switching cables.
