  For 16-bits I suppose you wouldn’t need such ‘high tech’ connections. But trust me, as much bandwidth as copper wire can carry, it doesn’t do good splitting up the signals. This will have a significantly improvement with your Sega.

  This is a great piece of hard ware BUT, it is mono. When the Genesis 3 was released by majesco is came with a mono cable, but the original was stereo. I think that the best thing to do is get the stereo one for the Gen 2 and use that. It is much better to have stereo especially since most technology is now stereo.

  There’s not much to say other than this is for the Genesis2, not the Genesis1. Otherwise the cable works as is intended.

  This cord does exactly what I wanted it to do-attatch my Sega Genesis (version/generation 2, I think) to my TV, without the annoying screw-in wires. I’ve had no problems with the cord and it works fine.

  Why choose this cable over any other for your Sega Genesis? It’s better than using standard RF! Anyone who has used this audio video cable can see right away that it offers improved graphics and sound if your TV (or VCR) has video input jacks. RF cables for video game systems have never worked well for me and I have personally sought to convert to RCA style or S-Video cabling whenever possible. This cable in particular will provide crisp, clear graphics and clearer stereo sound from your Sega Genesis. Is it truly stereo? Well, that probably isn’t so, but there is a marked improvement over mono sound AV cables that I have used and this difference is probably only true if you have a quality sound system (I use a modest Technics with amp and eq). There is no comparison to the crappy RF cable that I’ve found to kill a lot of midrange sounds or shadow them entirely.

  I would also point out that if you are an occassional gamer, who only plays on a weekend or once a month and you like to store your system between usage, this cable sets the system up much easier. If you want to just plug and play, then this is the way to go. I find that RF cables require screwing on this or that, wiggling the cable, shaking the box, doing a dance and jig to get it to work. With the AV cable for Genesis 2, you just plug it in. This is especially handy if you have AV jacks on the front side of your TV or VCR. Setup in such a case is about a minute.

  Please note:
  
  THESE STEREO AV AUDIO VIDEO CABLES FOR THE SEGA GENESIS ARE ONLY FOR SYSTEMS 2 OR 3 BUT NOT THE FIRST SYSTEM MODELS # 1601,1602 OR 1603.

  To my knowledge there is no AV cable for the first system. If you do not have a system 2 or 3, I strongly encourage you to upgrade to one of those systems, not just to use these great cables, but to treat yourself to a much better product.

  They sent something that looks nothing like the picture and didn’t work with a Sega Genesis in anyway.

  I had lost my SEGA CDX video game system cables during 1 of many moves throughout the years. I was hoping to find a replacement on Amazon so my daughter could enjoy all the SEGA games I had accumulated as a teenager. These cables did the job! The only thing I was disappointed with is that there is only one white audio cable which means only mono sound not stereo. Didn’t matter though, you can hear all the action just fine! My daughter enjoyed playing all the old SEGA CDs and cartridges thanks to these cables.

  I can’t really give this product much a rating, because I was unable to use it. We ordered it in order to use our Sega Genesis, but it does not fit. I don’t know if it is an updated version, or if it is just not what it was marketed as, but it was unusable, which was very disappointing.

  This av cable is probably one of the better buys for any Sega genesis junkie. It basically breaths new life into your old console, because now you don’t have to plug it into the back of your TV with the other cable. This new one however brings a clear, and perfect picture from your Sega genesis. It’s simply one great product.
