bacteria Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Spent ages, and done various searches, and not got the answer, hoping you guys can help please. I've got a French Atari 7800 console, the "Peritan" (SCART) RGB model, and when I test on my UK televisions, I get black and white only, no colour. Got one of these units as I wanted crisp RGB output via SCART. Is this a normal problem (monochrome, not colour)? How can I fix it so I get colour please? Monochrome isn't ideal, I want colour! Your help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Usotsuki Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Might be because SÉCAM, and your hardware expects PAL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svenski Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Most modern flatscreen TV's sold in Europe should allow you to switch between the various flavours of PAL and SECAM. If you are using an old CRT then a UK PAL TV isn't going to be too impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rastignac Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 The French 7800 are all PAL. SECAM 7800 doesn't exist. (French 2600 were SECAM only). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacteria Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 Using old CRT television and also more modern LCD screen, result the same; black and white. Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
