This has what you need to do to add A/V inputs.

Subject: Re: OT: Anybody know anything about an Atari?
The Atari 2600 game machine most definitely had RF output.
When it came out, almost NO TVs of the era had video inputs. Using a regular
TV was the only way to go! :-) There should be a small switch on the 2600
that selects between Channel 3 and Channel 4, if I remember correctly.
There once was a hardware-hack that let you get NTSC video out of it,
where you had to cut a few circuit board traces and add a capacitor or two,
but I don't know if it's still anywhere on the web. You might Google for
sites that support the 2600. They're still out there!
