Heard that you can connect it in a vcr to a tv and get that to work, how do you set yore vcr to do that?

I have a japanese famicom and a pal tv. I get a clear image but just parts of the sound when i plugg it directly to the tv. Its an hdtv. Is the only way to get an older tv? the vcr method would be cool if it worked.

So the only problem is sound? What do you mean by "parts of the sound"?
I have a PAL HDTV and have no problem with Famicom.

Cool down, we all have Japanese Famicoms ;D
Try to search your TV's menu for some sound settings, there might be a way to change the "norm" of the sound.

Hell! I have japanese Famocom too :)
Look sound coming in a few standarts 4.5MHz, 5.5MHz and up/down, so play little bit with TV settings
I don't buy, sell or trade at moment.
But my question is how hackers at that time were able to hack those games?(c)krzy

cool, i actually found a sound setting where you could change lot of things, but had no idea to what. Gonna try getting a image of it

133MHz

If you have a "Sound System" option, try setting it to M.

So you all get it to work on PAL now? No one I know has gotten it to work on PAL. You must have very good or special televisions. Why else would I have to mod all famicoms I sell? Please tell me what television I need to get my famicom to work with sound...

Hey I live in the middle of PAL territory and I hadn't any problem with Famicoms since 2-3 years back. All TVs made in the last years are "compatible" :D
My mistake, those were all av-moded famicoms.
