Hey, /vr/ I know this will sound really stupid but,
I just got a Sega Genesis model 2, and I was curious about certain things, for one, does it output in stereo? Because I have it plugged into the coaxial on my TV and so far sound is only coming out of the right speaker. Second, on my TV the coaxial port has notches on it for the coaxial to be screwed onto the TV, however the genesis has no such way as far as I know so I just plugged it straight onto the coaxial, is this going to damage it in any way? I know it sounds stupid but I want to be sure. also lastly, does the model 2 have region locking? I've read conflicting things about being able to fit Japanese cartridges in so I thought It'd be smart to make sure.
All Genesis 2/MD2 motherboards support stereo output, so there's either something wrong with the cable or your receiver's settings.

Shit, do you think it could be the thing I mentioned before or would that not be it?

Yes the MD2 outputs stereo but is probably only mono via RF connection, you really want to be using RGB or mod it for s-video. Composite is okay at a push, depending on the motherboard revision you may get jailbars on the picture. Post a pic of the entire underside of the console and I could better advise what your options are and how to achieve them.
I'm in yurop and we use push fit RF aerial connections over here. I'd imagine it's not an issue though.
Region modding is really easy on these. Again post a pic of the underside and I'll run through your options.

What do you mean exactly though, I assume the bottom of my console is jut like any other one since I haven't changed anything about it.

There are different motherboard revisions. I assume he is trying to get an idea of which one you have.
