Will a wii conncect to a tv that is over 12 years old

katies_mum

I fancy getting a wii for our daughter for Xmas, however, our Toshiba TV is older than her, but still going strong. Will I be able to connect a Wii or will I need a newer TV? Don`t want to splash out if it won`t work, and won`t get a new TV until I decorate sometime next year.

Thanks

There will almost certainly be a way of doing it, although you might need to spend a couple of quid on a scart adaptor.

What inputs does your TV have?

Alternatively, what model number is it?

if it has a scart

TV is a Toshiba Nicam Digital Stereo 2939DB, (don`t laugh when you see how old it is!!)

It should do, it has a Composite and audio connections, and an adaptor to get it to connect via a scart socket.

I don't think there are many (any) nicam TV's that didn't have scart connections or composite and audio connections (I think scart came into general use around '91-92).

The RGB scart linked to is an optional extra that gives a slightly better picture

The cables supplied with the Wii will connect to a scart socket on your tv so you will be fine !
