Thank you for your interest in our AV mod,it will permit you to play on about any modern Tvs with

Prerequisites :
This job is pretty easy, you ll only have to do 4 soldering points on your motherboard.However a
small skilled in soldering iron is needed or you could damage your Video system.
WARNING : risk of electrical shock
Please also keep in mind that for your safety, you must unplug power cord and wait at least 5

What are you going to need ? :
- The most important thing : the av mod
-A soldering iron and a some solder wire
- A drill with 6mm or 7mm bit (1/4")
- Screwdrivers
- a cutting pliers
- A needle-nose pliers
- optionally a hot glue gun or a strong glue
This AV mod can be installed in less than 15mn but please take your time, you should be able to do
the job in less than 30mn.
First ,remove these 4 screws and open the case :
Then remove gently the motherboard from its plastic case.
You re going to see a big metal shield present in both side of the motherboard,we re going to need to
remove it.
Fortunately,the metal shield isn t soldered,it s
just maintained from a side to the other by
some small bended tabs.
You just have to unbend each of these tabs
(located in the back of the motherboard)
with a needle-nose pliers to remove the
metal shield.
Once removed you can forget it,we won t
replace this shield as we re not going to use
HF anymore
Our beautiful motherboard is nude,we re going to cut the contact with the RF part.
To do that, we re going to remove 4 components and to cut or unsolder RF box pins Optionally we
can also desolder the RF box ;
Concerning the components to remove,you can unsolder them but i ve personally simply cutted
them using a cutting pliers
Components to remove :
Then we re going to cut or
unsolder the 5 pins of the
RF Box :
We can also optionally unsolder and remove completely the RF Box as we re not going to use it
anymore. To do that,there is 4 big solder points to desolder, they re linked to the GND so it s easy to
do and there is no major risks.points to unsolder :
To connect your AV mod ,only 4 solder points are needed.See the back of your AV mod to know
which wire to solder ( Concerning GND please solder the biggest wire to the motherboard)
Below are the 4 solder points to do :
Open 2 6-7mm (1/4") holes on the case to fix the RCA chassis connectors.
There is much more space than inside a 2600JR and so they is plenty convenient place that you can
choose :
Fix the two RCA connectors on the chassis :
Now solder the Audio-out on the white or red (may vary) RCA connector , solder de Video-out to
the red or black RCA connector. Then connect both RCA GND together and to the GND power
small wire ,just like this :
you can now fix your AV mod with the double sided tape provided. There is a perfect place just near
the « Game Reset » switch. The result should be something like :
Time to test, place a cartridge, connect the A2600 to your TV and plug the power cord.
You should have a noiseless brighter image.
If the image is not good enough, you can adjust it by turning the pot located near the on/off switch
but actually it shouldn t be necessary
So then check everything one last time and you can close the case, place back the 4 screws and
play !
We wich you hours of gaming with your newly improved Atari 2600 !
