Question about Microsoft Xbox 360 Console

Black and white picture

When we plug our xbox into our JVC tv, it appears only in black and white, all the other tvs in the household are in color so we don't think it's the xbox... any suggestions?

    We also have a JVC colour TV but it doesn't allow xbox 360 premium games or DVD to display in colour, b/w only.

    Changing PAL display from 60 to 50 doesn't work either.

    All help greatly appreciated.

The solution might be simple. If you´ve only tried one AV input on your TV, you should try one the others, i.e. AV1, AV2 or AV3.

make sure that if you have the hd cords plugged in the switch is on hdtv and if the regular cords are plugged in the switch on the a/v cords says tv. make sure the red cord is in the correct socket. if you are using hdmi cord then it needs replacing. also you may find some sucess by changing the output in the xbox settings.

My philips dvp3560 will only playback in black and white
Check the TV System menu:

[TV System]
Change this setting if the video does not appear
correctly. By default, this setting matches the most
common setting for TVs in your country.
• [PAL] - For a PAL-system TV. (European TVs)
• [Multi] - For TV that is compatible with both
PAL and NTSC.
• [NTSC] - For an NTSC-system TV. (American TVs)

Also try:

[Picture Setting]
Select a predefined set of picture color settings or
customize the personal setting.
• [Standard] - Original color setting.
• [Bright] - Vibrant color setting.
• [Soft] - Warm color setting.
• [Personal] - Customize the color setting. Set
the level of brightness, contrast, tint and color
saturation, then press OK

Dont know what color to stick where
X-box can be hooked up to component video. This is for better picture quality. Not all tvs have this option. Most newer tvs do. It uses green, red, blue. Those will give you the video. Then a red and a white give you the audio. Just match up the colors.

Xbox original not showing color screen
Put the xbox on another tv. If it is in color then, the AV inputs may be bad. If that is the case, you may need to buy an AV-UHF/VHF converter, or plug them into a VCR.

Color problem
Please fine tune those B/W channels to obtain color picture. If TV is more then 4 - 5 years old, it needs resoldering in tuning area or might need replacement of IF block.

Black and White Only
I had a similar problem when I first connected my son's xbox using the Audio/Video cable (red, white, & yellow connectors). I connected the cable to the TV correctly, but incorrectly selected "component" as the input on the TV setup. Result was black and white display. Switch your TV input mode to "AV" or "Audio/Video" and you will get color.

FYI, "component" TV mode is only used with devices that use the red, green, & blue connectors.
