Hi Everybody

I was at a car boot sale yesterday and saw a Jaguar for sale I knew these were quite rare and thought it would be cool to see what the console was like. Now trying to set it up I am stuck as to how to get it to display on my TV. I have plugged an ariel cable from it straight to the TV but get nothing. Abit of googling has shown me that I might be missing some sort of RF box? I cant work out if this is essential to make it work like an Amiga modulator or just something so you can switch between TV and Console like the SNES. Can somebody help me out trying to work out how to see this thing working!

Cheers

PS it is a UK console to UK TV if that makes any difference

Does the red light come on when you press the power button?

Hooking a Jaguar up via the RF is no different than any other system that uses RF. Hook it up, switch it on and turn to the appropriate channel. No need for a switchbox even, so long as you have the right connector.

It'll be a green light if it's a UK Jag, but that's all good advice.

I'll add to make sure you have a cart in firmly!

If you're still struggling...

...make sure that you've polished the cart slot & cart contacts until the JaguarGenie appears. Then, with one of your wishes, ask her if she can see what the problem might be.

ps, don't ask for more wishes or more Genies, she doesn't like that...

And don't forget to have a game in the cart slot

That's why many region switches also incorporate a bi-colour LED to indicate which frequency it's running at.
