			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>NES, SNES, and Genesis all have optional RCA outs. you can use the same RCA out on the N64 with the SNES (or just buy another one), the NES has RCA outputs on it already, and the genesis has an out you can buy that uses RCA. </p><p>unless there&#039;s something i&#039;m missing (don&#039;t know nothing about the jaguar) you don&#039;t really need a coax input switcher thing. it would probably just be easier to get a RCA switcher and get the accessories for those systems.</p>]]></content>
