    Default Was the genesis stereo?

    I just picked up some av cables for my genesis 1.

    it has a video and only one audio rca cable...so its not in stereo...

    was genesis not in stereo...seems like it would have been, but i don't see any av cables that have the 3 rca.

    The Genesis 1 has a headphone-style jack on the front-left, below the volume slider. You need to tap that for stereo sound. A quick trip to Radio Shack is all you need.

    that would be a good option, if you pick up a 32X it comes with stereo out

    yeah.. it looks like the Genesis Model 1 is not stereo out of the multipin.

    you need a model 2, 32x, or nomad to have stereo out of multipin. Guess the headphone jack is the ticket.

    Correct.

    (I have nothing to add, just wanted to let you know you're right about the headphone jack.)

    I don't know that I feel safe having the CORRECT stamp applied by Captain Wrong.

    We all did.

    When I bought my complete boxed 32X from a forum member, I was pleasently surprised when I found the Stereo AV cable in the box. It was nice of them to include it.

    It should be noted that while the Genesis COULD be stereo, many if not a lot of the games aren't in stereo, and even among the ones that are you can't tell.
