I picked this up at the goodwill yesterday, and was wondering how I hook it up. I know this should be fairly simple, but the one hookup is very strange. Just wondering if someone could help. Thanks.

think you might need an adapter

I can't tell from the picture, but my guess is you've got that annoying fat Odyssey prong at the end of the o2/TV hookup cable?

Although it's got a retarded end for the TV, inside the Odyssey2 it's a normal RCA connector. It's an easy mod to open the O2 up and replace the funky cord with a regular RCA cable. Then you can use a normal RF box. Careful you don't get one with two big of a connector though, it is a little tight in there.

Also, hang on to the old cable in case you every snag the original Odyssey. Its rf cable has those annoying prongs on both ends. But if you keep your old O2 cord, then you can plug the fat end into the Odyssey and use the normal RCA end to hook up to a regular RF box. Whee.

wufners is probably correct about the old RF cable. If so, Ozyr has a really detailed walkthrough (http://www.ozyr.com/o2/tvcordhk.html) that shows you how to replace the cord. It's pretty easy.
