xbox 360 plays in black&white

15 replies

Hi:

 

I would guess that it won't play at 50hz either hence the orange tinge or whatever. It almost certainly won't play at 60 hz!

 

The only thing I can suggest is changing the scart adaptor, I had one with more teeth than necessary and for some reason that was causing it not to register properly with one of my televisions.

Although the Hz thing makes more sense.

 

Thanks

Does your tv play dvd in colour,?!,try it with a dvd player??!

i dont have a dvd player at the mo, i play my movies on pc. will look into getting one soon but i think that dvd will work fine. think i need to get a new tv instead. shame tho its not a bad tv

Bumping an old thread.

Just got a XBOX 360. Works well with my LX 5500 from 1991 in mode "PAL 50", but some games demands "PAL 60". The problems is that in this mode the picture is black and white. Is there any ways to get colour, except the obvious one (get a newer TV)?

Update, problem solved!

Ordered a RGB cable and it did the trick!

This means two things:

1. LX5500 handles RGB

2. Still no need for new telly
