Magic Knight S-Video Installation – A7800

This is a Basic Install guide – because this is a really easy mod to do! This guide will only focus on the install for NTSC

Atari 7800 systems.

NOTE: – This guide assumes you can use a soldering iron and understand the basics of where what needs to be

connected in regards to wires onto the AV out connections as that won’t be detailed here.

Tools Needed –

 #2 Phillips screwdriver – For taking the 7800 case apart

 Need nose pliers – to assist with bending the RF shield tabs

 Soldering iron – cause that solder isn’t going to attach itself

 Solder – cause the wire isn’t going to attach itself

 Lengths of small gauge wire – different colors make it easier for each connection

 A way to attach the mod board inside – I use 3M 10LB Velcro

 RCA Jacks panel mount (1 min) – for your Audio Out

 S-Video Jack panel mount – for S-Video output

 Heatshrink tubing – for that slightly more professional look

 Small cable ties – for even more professional look and to keep the wires together

 Multimeter – to verify continuity of connections and check for shorts

Let’s Get Started –

1. Start by removing the top cover from the 7800 by removing the 5 screws along the bottom of the case. Two in

the rear section, three in the front. (Set top case aside)
