Hello,

what exactly does the Mode Switch on the backside of my japanese FZ-1 do? (early model, located between EXT and S-VHS) yes, it's connected to the PCB. currently it's set to B ... whatever that means.

hoping for some answers/thanks in advance,
CGL

Unrelated, but a quick search on Japanese 3DOs brought up this little gem:

Try to find the big lie in there.

That a-b switch is for the RF modulator, in case anyone is still using RF.

Tks for the utoob, funny stuff

Oh yeah. I vaguely remember now my RF cable that came with a DC also had an A-B switch. Meh.

Thanks.

You know, I wanted to take a wild stab and guess it was an internal RF like the Atari used to have, but I didn't want to speak from a place where I had absolutely no knowledge.

That was a really forward-looking option, wasn't it? Sure, S-Vid and AV are nice, but the entertainment box of the future will also work on your 70s contraption with the exposed vacuum tubes.

I hoped for something more 'spectacular', but ok.

thanks for the info.

"Big hit in the USA" ?

Surely "plugging into the future" is the lie. Surely. I mean, they can't do that. I mean, what type of sockets does the future have for heavens sake?

IT'S THE FUTURE!
