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?
Do u have your 360 display settings at 60hz if so the tv might not be compatiable with a 60hz signel go to display setting and drop back to 50 hz and colour may show it self but remember some games wont play in 50hz if this is the case try find a ntsc to pal converter

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.
[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
There might be a problem with the jack inserts on the T.V. have you tried wiggling the jacks while there plugging in to the T.V. and also make sure the same cord is securely connected in the back of the console.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I had the same problem with my Playstion2. I found that the playstion was givin an NTSC video output but the TV was only for PAL. try it on a TV that is PAL if your gamestation is PAL or on an NTSC tv if its NTSC. Does this help?
my xbox has the same problem tv is brand new
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.
