In my dorm room I have a N64, which works when I hooked it up. However it wont play in color it's only in black and white which is extremely annoying. I have a Sony Bravia. How do I fix this without buying anything else?

Hi,

You have more than likely connected a COMPOSITE cable (red/white/yellow RCA type) to the COMPONENT video input sockets on the back of the TV.

COMPONENT requires 3 RCA type video cables, COMPOSITE only uses one (the yellow plug). If you connect only one video cable to any of the three component inputs you will get a black and white picture although you will still have audio if the red and white cables are correctly connected.

If you are using a COMPOSITE cable (red/white/yellow RCA type), please check the connections on the rear of the TV and make sure you have not connected to a socket marked "COMPONENT", "Pr" "Pb" or "Y". If you are certain the cable is correctly connected, please try another cable.

If you have verified that you are using the correct sockets on the TV and it still doesn't work or if you are using any other type of cable, please let me know which cable you are using and the model number of the TV. I will then be able to assist you further.
