jbuschman Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I recently got an Atari 600xl and its only displaying in black and white. I'm using the same video hookup I use for my 7800. Am I missing something here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcokitt2000 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hello, I have a monitor connector to audio video on all my 600xl are black and white on the 800XL/xe colour. Maybe someone on the atariage can help. Greetings Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Westphal Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Try adjusting the color pot. It requires a small ( eye glass ) screwdriver, and is a small hole on the bottom case. Turn it back and forth to see if you get any color. If you do, the adjust to your liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Z Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I recently got an Atari 600xl and its only displaying in black and white. I'm using the same video hookup I use for my 7800. Am I missing something here? you are using the RF output? sometimes TV's take a couple tries tuning to the output channel before they manage to pickup the chroma signal over the RF output. some simply refuse to work.

Greetings Marco Hello, I have test it, still the same no colour. I think 600xl monitor is others than 800xl i now where composite video pin is deferent on 600xl. Check this site http://www.hardwarebook.info/Atari_8-bit_Monitor Pinout 5 PIN DIN 180° (DIN41524) FEMALE at the computer. Pin Description 1 Composite Luminance (Composite Video on PAL 600XL) 2 Ground 3 Audio Output 4 Composite Video 5 Composite Chroma (not on 800XL (except "800XLF"), 1200XL; Ground on PAL 600XL) This mean 600xl compposite video is on pin 1 instead of pin 4.
