Sega Saturn Help!

Hi I just got a sega saturn from my neighbor who was getting rid of a few things. I didnt get any games with the saturn. Bu when i turn on the saturn i get a blank screen. (black screen) is this normal?
If there is a problem how can i fix it?

Thanks
Gwion

mm it should go to the BIOS screen. Check if you put correctly the AV cable, but I think your Saturn is broken..
