I bought my first famicom last week. I'm living in Ireland so I'm having trouble setting it up. I can get picture but no sound. I really have no idea what I'm doing if anyone could put into simple english what I have to do id really appriciate it.

Are you using conversion equipment or your TV can support an NTSC signal?

PAL televisions do have an issue with separating video and sound to different channels.

I thought my tv could support it but it doesn't seem to be working. It's a Sony bravia tv pretty modern. Can you tell me more about conversion equipment ?

If the picture is OK but not the sound you could try the FM Radio solution: http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=9478.msg134518#msg134518.

What kind of Famicom is it, the original one (with an eject lever), or the newer AV-Famicom?  If it's the older one, how are you connecting it to your TV, has it been AV modded (uses white, yellow/red cables)?

Newer TVs are fine with an NTSC signal, I live in England which is PAL territory and none of my TVs have any problem with NTSC systems.

I have no problem with my sony bravia tv and my famicom. All sony tv's support ntsc but you have to set the sound system manually ( if you are using rf )

open console and you will find on the RF modulator a little hole it is for adjustment the audio frequency, try to rotate it slowly with tinny screwdriver so you will get sound without buzzing
