Aspect Ratio and the Region Switches

BEFORE powering on your RetroN® 3 HD, make sure your aspect ratio (via HD Cable only) and region is configured. Using the incorrect region setting will cause inaccuracies in the in-game speed.

  •  Located in the BACK of the RetroN® 3 HD is the ASPECT RATIO SWITCH.
    Moving the switch to the LEFT position indicates a 16:9 ratio. Moving the switch to the RIGHT position indicates a 4:3 ratio. The aspect ratio can only be toggled when using an HD Cable.
    Note: Toggling between the 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios during gameplay might lead to graphical glitches. We recommend powering off your console and then adjusting your preferred aspect ratio.

  •  Located on the BOTTOM of the RetroN® 3 HD are the region switches. With the front of the console oriented downwards and the bottom facing you, moving either the switch for NES® or Super NES® to the LEFT position will indicate you are using a PAL cartridge. Moving the switch for NES® or Super NES® to the RIGHT position will indicate you are using an NTSC cartridge. Moving the switch for Genesis®/Mega Drive to the LEFT position will indicate you are using a PAL cartridge. Moving the switch for Genesis®/Mega Drive to the MIDDLE position will indicate you are using an NTSC-U cartridge. Moving the switch for Genesis®/Mega Drive to the RIGHT position will indicate you are using an NTSC-J cartridge.

  2.  With the RetroN 3, HD turned OFF, use the SYSTEM SELECTOR SWITCH to choose which system you will be playing, then press the POWER BUTTON.  Moving the switch into the UP position selects FOR NES®. Moving the switch into the MIDDLE position selects FOR GENESIS®/MEGA DRIVE. Moving it into the DOWN position to selects FOR SUPER NES®.
  3. If you would like to reset your game, press the RESET BUTTON located on the front of the console.
