Wii on a new TV

[Dico]

Just transferred my Wii to a new TV and can only get B&W picture! Have tried using a scart adaptor, and been on Nintendo site but nothing doing.

It seems to be OK when it's first switched on, then reverts back to B&W within a couple of minutes. I know there are other cables available, but they appear to be quite expensive and I don't want to purchase unnecessarily.

Any ideas/suggestions gratefully received.

A frustrated Dico!

Are all the plugs in properly?

[Dico]

Yes, definately. Checked over and over again.

I had a weird fault with my old telly, I don't think it's the same fault, as yours works initially.

When I scrolled through the list of AV inputs, I used to get a B&W picture of the Wii first and then when I scrolled to the next input, the proper colour Wii picture appeared. Apparently, there was cross talk inside the telly between the inputs.

Have you tried another AV input?

Just to second this, my old tv had AV2/AV2S and it would be in B+W if the wrong one.

My Panasonic does the same if I choose the S-Video AV2 input instead of RGB.....Check that the AV input you have plugged the Wii into doesn't give you two options for input type.

Got me quite concerned the first time it happened.....easily sorted.

Good luck
