Title: PC Engine is black & white on my TV... HELP!
Post by: dougal on 06/11/2013, 10:06 AM
I just received my PC Engine from Japan and it works great, clear picture and good sound but its in black and white :O

Its connected via a home made (by me) cable which taps the pins of L and R sound, ground and video on the expansion port.

What guide did you use?  this rings a bell actually.  Also, you'll get more appropriate attention if this were moved to the Mod/repair section ;)

newer tv should fix the problem, or a scart rgb cable.
