Video only shows in black and white on the tv

This happens because of the color decoder in the TV. A TV color decoder has a switch that makes the TV image black and white when the received signal does not have sufficient power. Your TV color decoder switch remains in the black and white position (the TV receives weak signal or the TV color decoder is damaged).


Replace the TV antenna, try an antenna amplifier or a digital receiver before the TV.

If you're using composite video cables (red/white/yellow) but your TV doesn't have a yellow jack to plug into, plug the yellow cable into the green "Y" plug instead. If there is more than one set of video jacks on your TV, make sure you're using the first set, usually labeled "Video 1" or "Component 1". If it still comes up in black and white after all that, you may need to look in your TV's settings menu to see if there's an option to change the settings for that port from Component to Composite.

If you're using component video cables (red/white & red/blue/green) make sure the cables are all plugged in to the proper color-coded ports on the TV. Mixing up the video cables can cause the image to show up in black and white

Picture Is Black and White or Does Not Appear Situation:

• The console powers on and shows a black and white image on the television screen
• The console powers on and there is no image on the television

What to do:

• Determine whether the Standard AV Cables (packaged with the system) or the Component Cables (sold separately) are being used.


• AV Cables


• Ensure the yellow, red, and white cables are connected to the correct corresponding inputs on the TV. (How To)


• Try another set of inputs on the TV, or hooking the Wii console up to another TV.


• If the TV does not have the yellow, red and white inputs, it will most likely have component inputs which allow standard AV cable use. Try these AV hookup steps. (How To)


• Component Cables


• Ensure the red, blue and green video cables are connected to the correct corresponding inputs on the TV. (How To)


• Try another set of inputs on the TV, or hooking the Wii console up to another TV.

Still Not Resolved:

• If the television is continues to show a black and white image when powering on the Wii console, then the problem is likely with the system and it will need to be repaired. Please call 1-800-255-3700 so that we may assist you further.

What type of machine is doing the copying?

Make sure that the color control level is set to the default or 50% to start with. This should be in the Video menu.

The colour for the tuner and for the encoded base-band video uses a circuit area called the colour demodulator. It is possible that this cirucuit area has failed and needs servicing.

Make sure the DVD is not on the PAL system. Trying to watch a PAL dvd on a NTSC TV or DVD player will play it back in black and white only.
