How to Hook Up a Sega Genesis to an LCD TV

Back in the early 90's, Sega developed a game console called the "Genesis". The gaming system has lost its fame after modern game consoles have been developed however the "Genesis" still exists. There are very many people who still love classic "Genesis" games, like "Sonic The Hedgehog 3" and "Jurassic Park". The "Genesis" game console is hooked up to the television in the same way as modern gaming systems, except that it's simpler with just two wires.

  Ensure that both the LCD TV and the "Sega Genesis" are unplugged.

  Take the AV cable that came with your "Genesis" console and connect the single-pronged end of the cable to the "AV OUT" jack located on the back of the console.
