Just got my famicom today, powers on and plays games but every few seconds the screen on my tv flickers and cuts in and out, switched out rf switch and power supply but still does it, any more suggestions?

Is it tuned in 100% correctly?

What do you mean by tuned in, i do get picture and sound on channel 95

Frank_fjs

Well, sometimes with an RF signal it's picked up on multiple frequencies but not all of them are correct. In other words, you might be getting a picture and/or sound but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's tuned in properly. Try tunning on a different channel, or perhaps even 'fine' tuning the signal you have now if your TV permits.

Well i figured it out, it was my lcd tv. Hooked it up to an old tube tv and it works just fine now, thanks for your input though
