Hello,
I have just found my Amiga 500+ & Sega megadrive 2 in the loft and am trying to resurrect them. It works fine on my 14inch CRT TV, but when I connect it to my Toshiba Regza the TV just wont recognize them, I am trying to connect the Amiga through Scart cable and the Sega through AV
Any ideas?
Cheers Mike

I would check in the menus; the ports may be disabled by default (or by the channel scan), or there might be some settings related to upscaling for legacy resolutions.

But I am thinking it must be possible to convert them somehow?
