- If the TV has audio/video inputs, that's the best way to connect the Atari.
- If it just has the cable-tv type screw-on connector, you can buy an adaptor
- at Radio Shack to change the "RCA" plug on the switchbox cable to an "F" plug.
- And if you want to use the tv as a tv, you can get a cable-tv switchbox.
