Nintendo Wii Console Logo
Anonymous Posted on Aug 07, 2013

Where to start.....alright. I currently have a softmodded Wii console, and I recently bought third party component cables for it. The cables work fine under Standard TV resolution (480i), but when I change it to HDTV (480p), my TV goes blue (No video going in), but I can still hear the Wii. Another thing I noticed is that my Wii won't load any homebrew or discs while in 480p (it returns to the Wii channel menu). I also made sure to connect the cables right, and I'm pretty sure that even if my TV doesn't support it, my Wii should at least load games and such. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance :)

From the Wii Channels menu, click the "Wii" button on the lower left of the screen. From there choose: Wii Settings > Screen > TV Resolution. In this menu, click on the "EDTV or HDTV (480p)" option and then click "confirm".

SOURCE: Nintendo Wii works fine on standard tv but not on hdtv.

FOUND THE PROBLEM !!!!! The problem appears to be the Freeview somehow interfering with the Wii signal. When the aeriel lead is removed the Wii works fine, and the audio/visual signal is great. When the aeriel lead is in I have the problems. I hope this solution proves to be of use to anyone else having similar problems.

SOURCE: Wii console to Philips HDTV Connection not working

In order to use the 480p (HDTV/EDTV) resolution, you MUST be using the Wii Component Video Cable. Any other cable will not display the 480p resolution, you have use the 480i (Standard) instead. You can order the Wii Component Video Cable through Nintendo's Web site. Using that cable, you can select the 480p resolution. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Wii to Philips LCD TV

Looks like the AV port in your Philips television is busted. It's the only factor if the Wii is able to function with other tv with the same cable. You can either purchase a new television/get the one you have fixed (these will cost money) or you could just purchase an hdmi cable which doesn't use the same port so it could possibly work with your Philips television.

I am streaming netflix from my Nintendo Wii to TV. Is there an after market HDMI cable that I can run from Wii to Denon Stereo to get sound through receiver?

Hello, although there are not official wii to HDMI output cables, there are in fact some cables that are provided by third party handlers that will work.

For instance THIS product is a simple little converter which you put into your wii output and connect a regular HDMI cable.

KEEP IN MIND: This isn't a HDMI cable, you need to have a HDMI cable or buy one to use it with this product.

Nintendo Wii AV Cables not work

It could be a problem inside the Wii where it only outputs a signal through HD. Have you tried a different TV using the original cables? If the problem persists I would recommend calling Nintendo.

Console switches off when game disk is loaded in

Is the power adaptor a Third-party one? It's obvious that your Wii does not have enough power to start the disc. If the power adaptor is third-party manufactured, I strongly recommend to stop using it Immediately.
If it's a Nintendo power adaptor, it's a defective one, so call Nintendo's customer service to get it replaced.

Polaroid tv Wii connection

Your LCD TV should have one of the following types of inputs:
  1. Composite. This is usually a yellow jack, along with red and white jacks for audio.
    If your TV has these, which it should, then the cable that comes with the Wii will plug directly into these jacks. Plug the yellow to the yellow jack, the red to the red jack, and the white to the white jack.
  2. S-Video. This is a flat black jack. There are four little holes, and one "flat" rectagular hole. There should also be a red and white jack that go along with this for audio.
    In order to connect to this input, you will need to purchase an S-Video output cable for the Wii. Most stores that sell Wiis will sell a third-party cable for this.
    This connection will give you a significantly better picture than Composite.
    S-Video does not carry audio, so you still need to plug the red plug into the red jack and the white plug into the white jack or you'll get only video and no audio!
  3. Component video. This is a triplet of Red, Green and Blue jacks. There is usually a set of red and white jacks along with them for audio again.
    This connection will give you the best picture, and you can set your Wii to EDTV (Progressive) mode.
    To connect to this input, you will need to get the Wii Component Video cable. Most stores that sell Wiis will either sell the official Nintendo one, or a third-party cable.
    Connect the red plug to the red jack, the green plug to the green jack, and the blue plug to the blue jack. Also connect the red audio plug to the red audio jack and the white audio plug to the white audio jack.
    Be careful not to get the red audio plug confused with the red video plug!
    If you see a picture, but the colors are wrong, then you either swapped the red and blue, or you connected the red audio plug instead of the red video plug.
