BZachLaLonde Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Have you flicked the switch from "black and white" to "color"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Are you sure the console fits to your TV norm? If the console is e.g. PAL and your TV NTSC only, the result would be B/W too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BZachLaLonde Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I wasn't trying to sound condescending either, I just know some people who don't know that one of the switches controls color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Moss Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 If you have it connected to the TV via RF as opposed to a retrofitted fitted composite AV mod are you sure it is tuned in correctly as it only has to be slightly off the correct frequency or tuned into a sideband frequency as opposed to the transmission frequency to result in B/W video. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
