PC Engine is black & white on my TV... HELP!

[dougal]

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 ;)

Ok thanks will move the thread to mod / repair.

I had this once. Had to get a new TV.

I had a problem like that many moons ago trying to play an ntsc console on pal tv..

yeah, also seems to be some TV norm problem we are facing here.

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