    Default Sega Saturn AV question

    Did they make different AVs for the Sega Saturn?

    Ok I have two Sega Saturns one oval button version(my personal system) one round button version...I have my original AV that has a plug in end that has three internal pins and a flat end..

    I buy this http://www.ebay.com/itm/401047724013 as I need a second AV so that I can put the second console up for sale...They send me a cord(I ordered 2) that does not fit the Saturn it is to small at the plug in end "almost looks like it would fit it forced and I mean forced,but the pins are too many and though some look to line up one will not..it would be some headache if that pin broken in the AV port..

    Curious I tried the new AV wires in a Sega Genesis 2 system and they fit and work..

    Now I had bought Saturn AVs from this seller before and they fit but this time no...The seller is telling me that they are for Sega Saturn ..

    In this listing shows a picture of what I was sent..I can't get this plug end into my Saturns..yet this Seller also lists it as for Saturn and Sega Genesis..
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Audio-AV-Vid...-/311573260097

    Am I wrong?..is there a Saturn version out there that a Sega Genesis 2 AV cord also fits into..
    .................................................. .................................................. ...................
    I don't get much for Used Saturns so adding an original AV they are not cheap...

    Well, the port is about the same size as a Genesis 2/3/Nomad, but it has a rounded top half compared to the flat, cut-off Genesis port. The cables have the same diameter and, and the ports have the same pin holes, but because of the flattened shape of the Genesis cable, they aren't interchangeable. Hope that helps!

    I ordered 2 of the same cables, for both a round and oval button Saturn, from the same seller, and both worked fine.
    I think you got a mix up

    the only difference in the listing between yours and mine is mine had "5Z" in the listing title and yours has "1Z". I don't know if that's relevant or not.

    If the cables actually work in a Sega Genesis 2 then they won't work in a Saturn, both systems use a different pin out. Cables aren't interchangeable between the Genesis and Saturn.

    the only difference in the listing between yours and mine is mine had "5Z" in the listing title and yours has "1Z". I don't know if that's relevant or not.
    Yea I wondered about that 1Z ..5Z thing...red the auctions over and over and can't find why they have that in the title maybe a stock number..

    You see all I did was just order two more of the same item I had bought from them before 401047724013 and that AV was the correct AV I added it to a Saturn and sold the set up on Ebay..this time they sent me the wrong cables..I contacted them twice by Ebay messages and once in the email that they send asking for Feedback and no response at all..
    I know it's a mix up but it's a mix up now verified here(thank you)..and they won't respond..I was going to open a return but UGH...just gonna source them from someone else..

    Know of anyone on ebay that has these for sure..

    Previously purchased that were correct from same seller.

    Update with this :
    I contacted them a few more times through ebay messages and via the direct email that they request feedback from-also states if there is a problem to contact them..

    No more response..
    They are just ignoring me.
    They figure after the "they are for Sega Saturn'' I'll just go to sleep..

    So I negged them..
    WOW within a second I get a responce to correct the problem..Lady is saying I never contacted them that she does not see any messages from me in ebay nor emails.,Ok sure I understand they are a huge seller so ..
    I show her Every message I sent and the one reply..No responce to that,they just want the feedback revised...

    It took a bad feedback planted on the so many others they have to Spark a response to correct the problem..

    So I agree to return what I have and they are sending me "what she says is the "correct" av wire.....
    I told her to check,make sure they fit a Saturn before sending..HA not gonna have a Saturn on hand..

    Waiting to see just what they send me this time..



    ................................
    UPDATE:
    I didn't even get a chance to send out the wrong cables as I figured "Ashey was going to initialize a return label....She didn't go any further after the agreemennt we made that I return 2 AVs and they send me 2 correct AVs..

    Small Package comes in the mail FAST ,what's this I have nothing coming...Ohhh it's an AV..UGH looks like the same wrong cable.
    It's different it has a lot of pins but has a flat side..It fits my Saturn...GOOD...
    No return label for the others and they only sent 1 AV....

    Oh well it's better then nothing..
    I don't want to say YEY I got three cords out of this,No,the headache was not worth it...I should of got the right AV cords in the first place.

    I like to do things honorable but I'm not going to send the two other AVs to them out of my own pocket-and spend more money..they are so mixed up they'd have no idea where they came from and go in the trash..

    It's done I'll buy from another seller..
