Hi guys, my wife just got back from Japan and brought me a white PC Engine back as a gift, but after hooking everything up I could never get it to work. I own a lot of game consoles, and I dont feel like I've hooked it up wrong, but there must be some obvious mistake I'm making with it... It says on the console next to the power jack to use a 9 volt adapter with negative center polarity I believe, and so I went out and bought an adjustable adapter and set it to those settings to use with it, and I'm using an RF switch for an NES, but I've also tried it with a generic RF and an RF for an SMS. I read somewhere online that if the switch is set to channel 1 then it should display on my TV at channel 95, or channel 96 when switched to 2, but I didn't get anything when i tried that or the typical channel 3. Does anyone have any ideas what Im doing wrong? Do I need an actual japanese RF switch for it or am I using the wrong kind of power cord maybe? Ive tried it on both my wide screen hdtv and my flat screen back projection tv with no luck on either. Thanks for any help you can give me, I really hope it isnt broken.
