American NES Top Loader Japanese TV Problems

[MarioMania]

Like in the US it's Ch 95/96 to get the Famicom on TV

I understood the question. I'm saying there is no overlap between US channels 3-4 and any Japanese channel. The frequencies used for US channels 3-4 fall under Japan's "radio control transmitter" spectrum. They do not fall anywhere within Japan's TV spectrum.

Where can I find out about spectrum spacing in Japan, I know about the US spectrum

I finally got my hands on a US VCR and had some time to try to get everything hooked-up.  Unfortunately I still can't get it to play through my VCR.  I'm starting to wonder if there's something wrong with my NES but I don't know how to check it.
