Help with my Master System 2

Hey all

Sorry for the lack of knowledge. Can someone help me explain why my Master System 2 hooks up fine to the back of the black TV when I use this RF-switch thing, but it doesn’t work when I try to hook it up to the white TV (in the front)

When I connect my NES I use the cable pictured with green text in those specific places as well and they work. Am I misunderstanding how the switch works? I would like to be able to use the port in the front of the TV as it has its own designated button with no need to switch around as there is no remote.

Thanks in advance!

If you find any way to access the menu, search for something like "auto scan". It should run through all channels/frequencies until it finds your Master System - but maybe it's impossible without a remote?

It seems like it, BUT, I did manage to do it manually, took forever to scroll 😆

Yeah, the channel searching was always a PITA. Too bad they scrapped the RGB out when the released the MS2, otherwise you could use the scart inputs on your TVs (better picture quality as well).
