Does anyone know if you can buy a cable extension kit for the
Nintendo? What I'm looking for is something that will allow me
to place the unit further from the TV. I would rather it be
a longer mail cable so the whole unit can be further and not
just a controller extension. Please forgive me if someone
else has already asked this, I looked and didn't see anything.
Thanks in advance,
Jim

either:
1) extend the controllers: there is at least 2 company that
makes cables - HMC Inc (Sharon Ma.) that has 2 6' cables
packed in the box
2) extend the console: "America's store" Radio Shack, you can
purchase 2 RCA phono cables (just like the ones packed with
the console) in the length you desire.
Don't know how far you can extend the console or controllers before
you might experience control/performance loss. It should be that
simple!

| 304.3 | Here's what I tried | SYOMV::HOOD | Fri Aug 04 1989 15:35 | 6 | |
I took 35 feet of 75 ohm cable and added phono jacks to the end and
place it between the unit ant the TV adapter with no distortion at
all. I have a 6 foot SONY projection screen that it's hook up to.
