Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The RFU adapter connects the Xbox console to TVs that do not have individual audio and video connections. It features two plugs--one end goes into your Xbox, the other goes into your TV's coaxial cable socket. The RFU adapter also features a coaxial cable socket of its own, so you won't have to fiddle with the cords when you want to switch from games to TV.

2.0 out of 5 stars It's cheap... but bad, go with another RFU adapter., February 7, 2002

Obviously an RFU connection is your last resort for playing X-box, but if you gota go RFU, your gonna need one of these babies.

The problem here...is this is not the brand of adapter you need. I tried to like this adapter (honest I did), because it was half the price of other RFU adapters, but I just couldn't. Having tried multiple RFU adapters for the X-Box from this company, I have concluded this model just doesn't make the grade.

First the picture quality was quite poor (even for RFU) and the sound was unintelligible (to the point where I played without it), on 2 of the 3 TV's I tried it on. Although it worked relatively well on 1 of the 3 TV's, it is anybodies guess whether it will work consistently for you.

Since an RFU Adapter for the X-box has to take an HDTV quailty video input and a Dolby Digital audio input and convert it to basically a coax signal - quality, adaptability and reliability are important factors in finding a solid RFU solution - which is where this product falls down.

Even after repeated attempts with several different adapters, I finally returned it (for good this time) and purchased the MS RFU adapter and have been happy ever since.

Well as happy as one can be for degrading the richness of the X-box Multi-media experience into an RFU TV...:)

My advice...spend the extra money and buy another adapter.

Hope someone could help me-
I bought this RF adaptor, hooked it up to a used XBOX, and noticed when I start the XBOX that I didn't have any color on my TV. I can get color by switching the channel then switching back, or waiting for awhile. Also noticed, at one point the color was switching on and off while I was playing a game. The TV is old, and not real good quality, but I had no trouble with an RF adaptor hooked up to a SONY PS1 with the same TV. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks
