Component Video input not working for Video game consoles

I have two video game consoles, and Xbox and Wii. I am unable to get both of them to work when connected to the component video inputs. I have the xbox working and that connected to Component Video 2 and set up under V Aux. However when I try to connect the Wii to component video and set it up on and video, VDP, DBS etc. it won't get a signal but if I move it to V Aux it gets a signal. I want have both consoles connect to the receiver through component video but so far have been unsuccessfull in any attempt to make that happen. I've also tried setting the Video conversion to ON and Off with no success. I've went through the manual and can seem to find any other explanation for this issue. Help!

Well, as far as I can tell, the WII does work, BUT...is it possible that your choice of INPUTS on the Denon unit may only process 720 or 1080 resolutions and not 480P which is the LIKELY output of Wii ! Can you swap your Xbox to the intended input on your Denon and see if you can set it up with that? If so, that's your problem. IF NOT, then dig into the Video Setup on the DENON a little deeper. We know for a fact the Wii does work correctly, we just need to know if Denon made ALL video Inputs capable of ALL Resolutions

Plugged in my wii after several months of not using it, it work excellent when I unhooked it. Now the picture has no color and very faint

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 :)

My wii console has sound but not visual checked all connections all ok it is connected by component cable please advise

Try to connect your Wii to another component input on the same TV, or to another TV. If the video works in one of those cases, then there is a problem with the TV. If not, your cable is likely broken. Try using a new component cable. If all this fails then there is a serious issue with your console that probably cannot be repaired at home.

Welcome to fixya



I have a solution for this

PLEASE follow these same procedures to connect your xbox



The AV Multi Out plug that is included with the Wii will allow you to connect the console to most TVs or VRCs. First, look at the back of your television AND your VCR and see if you have colored holes label "Input". Though most TVs have them, almost all VCRs do as well. If you are unable to find a set of yellow, red, and white AV inputs on the back of your TV, try looking on the sides, top, and bottom of the TV. Look for any hidden panels or doors as well. Connecting to a Television Audio/Video (AV) inputs are typically located on the back of the TV, but occassionally are on the sides, top, or bottom. Look for inputs marked Audio and Video IN. Do NOT connect your system to anything marked OUT. Don't see these inputs on your TV? Click here. Insert the AV Multi Out plug on the Wii AV Cable into the AV Multi Out connector on the back of the console Insert the DC plug on the Wii AC Adapter cord into the DC Input connector on the back of the Wii console. Insert the AC plug into a 120V AC wall outlet CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade of the plug to the wide slot and insert fully into the outlet. Plug the transformer into the wall outlet. The Sensor Bar can be placed either above or below your TV screen. Decide which option best fits you and click the image below for additional set up help, including mounting the Sensor Bar and proper alignment.

We have sound but no picture on our Wii

Connect a DVD player using red white and yellow to the TV if you get picture and sound, then reconnect the wii red, white, and yellow to the same input.

If only the wii does not show video you will need new red white, and yellow cables. I would try a friends red, white, and yellow cables first even to their TV where their wii is already working.

If new cables are not working you will need to contact Nintendo as there is an issue with your wii. You can't change the wii video to progressive without a component kit, and since you have yellow you obviously don't have a component cable for the wii.

The wires from the wii to hook into my samsung t.v. do not match is there an alternative wire configuration that I might be able to obtain?

The cables that come with the Wii are composite video cables with the standard red, yellow and white cables. You might be trying to plug them into the component video input, which has red, blue, and green.

Check your TV to see if you have any red, yellow, white inputs. Use that input if you are using the cables that same with the console.

Alternatively, you can buy component video cables for the Wii. This will be for the red, blue and green input. This will provide you with higher definition (480p vs. 480i) and a slightly sharper picture.

Good luck.

I want to buy the kids a wii for xmas. They have a samsung rear projection t.v that platys their xbox, will it play their wii?

Look at the inputs panel to your TV. If it has an extra composite input (red, yellow, white), you will be able to use the Wii right out of the box.

If it has component inputs (red, blue, green), it will work at a higher resolution (480p vs. 480i), but you will need to purchase a component video cable for Wii. A regular component video cable will not work.

Good luck.

I have the HT-S3100 model, and hooked up my tv, xbox360, and Wii to it. The audio works for all three, but the only video I can get is for the xbox. I am using the component hookup and it is hooked up...

On all tv's there should be independent input for all devices. Xbox 360 ,Wii, and tv. Take a look at input at the back of tv. The Xbox input should coincide audio/video. The same with each device. Then you use the tv's remote to select the input for each device. They should all work independently from each other. Such as component 1 for Xbox, component 2 for Wii, and depending on what type of tv input you use, such as coaxial, RCA, you note and put tv input setting on the device that you are going to use. If you have the audio working on each device, check the video input for each device. Make sure they correspond.
