If you are using an older TV that doesn't have a composite video input
(RCA input) then you can use a VCR as an RF modulator.  Just use an RCA
cable to connect the composite video out of your IIgs to the video in on
your VCR.  Set your TV and VCR up just like you would to watch videos
and you are all set.  Newer VCRs require that you set your VCR to the
video in manually by changing the channel to AUX or setting the VCRs
input to LINE.

Anyways, I think I have probably confused you enough.  Let me know if
you need any help with this explanation.  :)
