Cannot set up ps3 on older big screen tv - no hdml - when using colored input wires - cannot find on tv using input - WII is on video 2 tried using the same plug ins - did not work - any ideas

Some newer TVs do not have the traditional "yellow" video input, known as an "AV" connection. Even without that input, you should be able to use the standard three-color Wii AV Cable that came with the system.

What to Do:

1. Look for "component" inputs on your TV. These connections have a row of five differently-colored inputs (green, blue, and red for video, white and red for audio). If you have more than one set of component inputs, it's the first set that generally works with standard AV cables. Look for a set that has a green input with yellow around it, or the word "video" just above or below it.
2. Plug the yellow end of the Wii A/V cable into this green "Y" input. Plug the white end into the audio "L" and the red into the audio "R." Leave the blue and second red holes open.


3. Turn on your Wii console and set your television to the input select being used.
4. If you are seeing the image from the Wii in black and white, try the following to get the image in color:
   • Cycle through your television's input channels (usually with the "Input Select" or "Source" button on your TV's remote control) to find the input select that has the image in color.
   • If you're only finding the image in black and white, you may need to switch the setting of the input select from a component signal to a standard AV signal. This can be done by:
     • An on screen menu option. This is often accessed by using the "Menu" button on the remote.
     • A button on the remote that switches between the standard and component signals. These can be labeled such things as "AV" or "Video."

I would first check your cables. It seems as though the RCA cable could have a problem, OR if your using a standard def set up (Yellow=Video, Red/White=Audio) make sure the TV input is not set on component. Component input will be looking for an RGB input method. Try using another input, make sure the wires are plugged in the right location, and the input is set correctly. Hope this helps :)

Well it might either be the tv or the av cables that is causing the wii system to be in black grey and white then.
Picture Is Black and White or Does Not Appear Situation:

• The console powers on and shows a black and white image on the television screen
• The console powers on and there is no image on the television

What to do:

• Determine whether the Standard AV Cables (packaged with the system) or the Component Cables (sold separately) are being used.


• AV Cables


• Ensure the yellow, red, and white cables are connected to the correct corresponding inputs on the TV. (How To)


• Try another set of inputs on the TV, or hooking the Wii console up to another TV.


• If the TV does not have the yellow, red and white inputs, it will most likely have component inputs which allow standard AV cable use. Try these AV hookup steps. (How To)


• Component Cables


• Ensure the red, blue and green video cables are connected to the correct corresponding inputs on the TV. (How To)


• Try another set of inputs on the TV, or hooking the Wii console up to another TV.

Still Not Resolved:

• If the television is continues to show a black and white image when powering on the Wii console, then the problem is likely with the system and it will need to be repaired. Please call 1-800-255-3700 so that we may assist you further.

check the video input label that you're trying to pug it into. make sure that the color coded wires match up. make sure the channel is on the right input, bam, should work. oh yeah, make sure the ps3 is on too, you wont get a signal without first flipping the switch on the back of the ps3 and then pressing the power buton on the front.

Access your TV's menu screen:
- be sure that your TV screen is expecting input from "AV" or "Video" - if you have the "S-Video" input setting selected, change it to "AV" or "Video"
This should bring the color back to your Wii experience.

Yellow Is VIDEO, Red & White is your AUDIO. (Stereo). They should go color to color on the TV's AV input. This is AV, and you use 3 wires to connect this way.
The Red, Green, & Blue, is called COMPONENT, & is ONLY VIDEO, the AUDIO, still must use Red & White. So to connect with Component you use 5 wires, altogether, 3 for Video, 2 for Audio.
Plug them in color to color & choose the right INPUT on the TV, and turn on your input device.

Sounds like you have the Wii hooked up properly. I would suggest trying the other inputs on the TV just to be sure input 2 isn't faulty.

After trying the other inputs if the Wii still won't show any video then try another set of cables and after that if the video can't come up then the Output from the Wii is bad and the main board would have to be replaced.

Excerpt from the PlayStation 3 Manual:

There is no picture on the TV screen.

*Check that the input mode of the TV is appropriate for the connector in use on the system.

*There may be a problem with the AV cable in use. Try using another cable that is compatible with the PS3 system.

*If the video output settings on the system do not match those of the cable or TV in use, there may be no picture. If the screen goes blank, turn off the system. Then, with only the system and the TV connected, touch the system's power button for more than 5 seconds to turn the system back on. The video output settings will automatically be reset to the standard resolution.

*If the resolution of the video content is not supported by the TV in use, when the video is played the screen may go blank. If this happens, go to the screen for selecting the resolution in the system's video output settings, select "Custom" and then select all the resolutions that are supported by the TV.

Make sure TV is set to the AV input, yellow, red and white wire should be connected to color matching input on tv.
When you turn on the PS3 keep your finger on the power pad for 30 seconds and you should get a message from the ps3 about your input choice.
Let me know if this works, If it dosn't I will download the manual for the tv and try to help with it.
Please rate this solution, the only compensation I receive for my time is a good rating from you.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jason_77a19afa8d604dee

It has to do with the type of input - Video2 and 3 are Component video inputs, requiring a 3- wire component video cable (Red,blue,green for video, red/white below for audio). Video 1 is for analog equipment (Yellow for the video, red and white for the audio). Unless your Wii comes with a component video out cable and jacks (same red blue green), you'll have to use video 1 for the Wii, and use Video 2 for the dvd. You'll need a component video (3-wire) cable for your dvd, which should have the jacks for it. You can use the present cable you're using for the dvd, but you'll have to change the connections on the back of the dvd to component video out, and you'll still need another 2-wire cable to connect the audio out on the dvd to the audio in on Video 2 on the tv.

Here's the manual for your tv - look on page 8 for these connections. the Wii will be an analog connnection, the dvd will be a digital connection.
