Please Help Me! Can't get 3 japanese systems to work!

[can_dude]

I have an SG-1000 II, a Super Cassette Vision, a Super Cassette Vision Lady Edition, and a Sega Mark III, all fromt the same Japanese seller. I am using a new HDTV in the US with these consoles. The Sega Mark III didn't work at first, until I used my US master system power adaptor with it, now it works swell. Now the other consoles do NOT work. I have tried them with their Power Supply and with my own American sega power supplies which have the same Voltage and Milliamp output, and all I can get with RF is snow, but different snow than when the power was off. Im guessing that a signal is going through but my TV just can read it. I also tried using my Mark III A/V cord with the SCVs (which should work since its just a standard A/V to oversized serial (same as US SMS)) and all I get is a humming noise....Can someone please help me! I my tv unable to read japanese console signals older than 1984? Please let me know...any info would be helpful.

Doesn't the channel have to be on something weird like 94? I seem to remember having to set my famicom on some really weird channel....

[gamergary]

I thought you had to set your television to 97 to use a famicom. Can anybody verify this?

I've heard 65...

Channel 96 works for my Fami.

I've heard 96 as well, and why isn't this in the Import forum? Courteous VGF mod push please?

thanks for the tips guys, I will try them right away...

[can_dude]

It worked!!! the SCVs work on 96 and the SG1000 works on 95...you guys rock...

Whoa, good thing to know. I wonder if this is only the case with those two systems..?

[can_dude]

it also helped me with my regular cassette vision, which I always assumed was broken...my guess is any pre-A/V system needs to be set to a channel in the 90s if it's japanese.
