Setup Instructions

  1. Connect the A/V Cables: Locate the A/V output port on the back of the SEGA Genesis console. Connect the multi-pin end of the A/V cable to this port. Connect the red (audio right), white (audio left), and yellow (video) RCA plugs to the corresponding input jacks on your television. Ensure a secure connection for all cables.
  2. Connect the Power Adapter: Insert the small barrel connector of the power adapter into the DC IN port on the back of the console. Plug the other end of the power adapter into a standard electrical outlet.
  3. Connect the Controllers: Plug the controller cables into the controller ports on the front of the console. Controller Port 1 is typically on the left, and Controller Port 2 is on the right.
  4. Insert a Game Cartridge: Gently insert a SEGA Genesis game cartridge into the cartridge slot on top of the console, ensuring it is fully seated.
  5. Power On: Turn on your television and select the correct A/V input channel. Press the POWER button on the SEGA Genesis console to turn it on.

Operating Instructions

Basic Operation

  • Power On/Off: Use the POWER button located on the console to turn the system on or off.
  • Reset: The RESET button on the console will restart the currently inserted game.
  • Playing Games: Once the console is powered on with a game cartridge inserted and the correct TV input selected, the game should automatically start.

Controller Functions

The included controllers feature a D-pad for movement, A, B, C buttons for actions, and a START button for pausing or menu navigation. Specific button functions may vary by game.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning the Console: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior of the console. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the console.
  • Cleaning Game Cartridges: If a game is not loading, gently clean the gold contacts on the bottom of the game cartridge with a cotton swab lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Allow to dry completely before reinserting.
  • Storage: Store the console and accessories in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

ProblemSolution
No Power / Console Not Turning On

  • Try cleaning the game cartridge contacts as described in the Maintenance section.
