How do I connect the snes to my HD TV?

[C-Sword]

It has no AV jacks

This is the back of my tv



What kind of cable/converter do I need?

[DAAAAA!!]

You can use the antenna input to connect a vcr.. but of course it's gonna look like crap.. which is the problem i'm having..

I do not have a vcr laying around, I bought my blu-ray player quite recently, it also doesn't have av jacks, just a slot for the HDMI cable.

Check your TV manual -- many TVs that only have component jacks actually have a combo jack, whereby the green input is where you stick your yellow composite plug. Not all TVs do, but it's worth giving it a go.

If that doesn't work, you could get an AV->RF adapter for GameCube (like the one in my sale thread!)

You just need the regular RF cable that came with the SNES (or NES) originally. Any video game store will have at least a box full of these things. They shouldn't cost more than a couple dollars.

I am pretty sure it will work plugging it into the Y jack on the component in. It does on my tv.

This is what is stupid about a lot of new HDTVs. The lack of connections and even worse, only one set of jacks shared for different types on input. Gaaah, I'll take me HD CRT with seven inputs any day.

Anyways the Composite jack is shared with the Component jack. Its the Y yellow/green jack on the side as irixth pointed out. The audio would be the same shared white and red audio jacks that is also used by the Component input.

I have minimal inputs into my tv, which has near the same setup and 4 hdmis. Audio receiver and a 4-switch system selector allows me to hook up about 10 devices simultaneously with no disconnecting or moving of cables.

I also have additional switchboxes for each style of connection myself, too much components going in. At least on my older HD CRT I have separated connections for all the different styles of connections including SVideo and even a second RF input just for my Atari. The advantage of newer HDs is the multiple HDMI connections, but the SVideo drop and that shared Composite/Component input is a bad move.

Why couldnt new HD TVs have multiple jacks like this?
