If they have AV cables, they are somehow plugged into splitters, going into a Receiver, going into my TV. The oldest system which actually operates well on my plasma TV is the NES, which is the oldest system I have with an AV output. Every system released around or after the Genesis that I own, is hooked to the HDTV. The rest, the older ones, are around a 27-inch tube television adjacent to this whole mess. The Intellivision rests atop that TV, and I discovered that these older systems do not like to be wired through each other where the RF cables are concerned. They need to be plugged in one at a time.

There might be such a thing as an RF switch box. But I'm not sure. I'm gonna go look for a link.
EDIT: Doesn't look like such a thing exists.

Yeah I think it's always been assumed that:
1. RF cables can be wired through each other.
2. No idiot will ever try to wire up to 6 devices through one another. I'm that idiot--Atari2600, 5200, 7800, TurboGrafx-16, Sega Master System, Mattel Intellivision.
The NES and Saturn were formerly wired in this way, but without AV cables, neither system broadcast audio on my surround sound system--and I didn't like that. I want that mono Castlevania coming at me from all sides!
The only system I have that I cannot use is the old Coleco Telstar, which requires a TV so old that it still has horizontal and vertical hold knobs.
It never donned on me to wire any of that stuff through my VCR. I may have to give that a shot.
EDIT (I forgot the Intellivision)
