No colour through scart socket

PodLife · 22-09-2008, 2:29 PM

I've just bought a secondhand TV and when I plug in anything through the scart socket it comes through in black and white. I've just the same cables and everything on my old telly and they all worked fine. Is it likely that the TV's to fault or is there a simple fix that I'm unaware of?

It's an oldish CRT, made by Ferguson but I don't have the product name to hand.

TIA.

This is what happens when the picture source is NTSC (US) and the display is PAL (UK) (and vice versa I think).

You can try seeing if you can change the display settings on the TV (PAL,NTSC,Auto) or on the devices you want to connect to it.

Good luck

Or it could be something's set to s-video rather than composite. That said you'd be better using RGB if you can.
