Last updated
Ever wondered how to connect that classic Nintendo 64 console to your modern TV? Let’s dive into the easy steps to get you gaming in no time.
To hook up a Nintendo 64 to a TV, you’ll need to know a few simple steps and what cables to use. Let’s figure out how to make your gaming nostalgia come to life.
Quick Steps to Connect Your N64 to the TV
First off, find the AV cable that came with your Nintendo 64. This cable has three plugs: yellow, red, and white. You’ll also need to locate the AV input on your TV, which matches these colors.
Plug the yellow end into the TV’s yellow AV input for video. Then, plug the red and white ends into the corresponding red and white AV inputs for audio. Finally, plug the other end of the AV cable into the back of the Nintendo 64.
For Modern TVs Without AV Inputs
What if your TV doesn’t have AV inputs? No problem! You can use an AV to HDMI converter. Simply plug the AV cable into the converter, then connect the converter to your TV’s HDMI port with an HDMI cable.
This method ensures your classic console works with even the newest TVs. Now, just switch your TV to the correct input channel, power on your Nintendo 64, and start gaming!
