Quick Question about Gensis AV Cable
Dr. Dib - Nov 25, 2007

I was just wondering if someone can answer a question about the 2nd model of the SEGA Genesis. I'm looking for Composite cables for my Genesis 2 models and was wondering if it could output cable sounds and I should look for that cable. I have a 32x if that is needed in any way.

By the way, is the SEGA Saturn AV cord compatible with the Genesis 2? They look so similar.

I'm not sure what you mean...

No; it's the same style of connector but the pins are different.

Sorry about my lack of clarity, I mean this:

I've seen a Genesis 2 cable with 2 plugs (white and Yellow or red and yellow) and I've also seen cables with all three plugs. Are all of these compatible with the Genesis 2?

Yes, you can get a stereo A/V cable for the genesis 2 (also works with the 32x and genesis model 3).

(just first hit off e-bay)

FYI, you can also use this cable with the genesis 1. You need to have the adapter plug that comes with the 32X that converts the A/V (midi-style plug) out from the genesis 1 to the mini-din style of the genesis 2. The 32X then plugs its pass through into this adapter if you have the 32X/model 1 package. But you can plug the standard genesis 2 stereo a/v cable right into this adapter and use it with the genesis 1.

I'm not sure if they ever made their own official sega a/v cable for the genesis 1. The genesis 1 already outputs stereo audio via the 1/8in audio jack.

Ah, in fact, here's one:

It's mono, but you can just use the front-jack stereo output instead of the audio out of this cable.
