Hi people,

I have bought a new HP laptop which has Svideo out. The graphics card is a Radeon 320 IGP. I have connected the svideo to a scart and that into the TV. I can get it to work no problems. But the problem is it is in black and white. I have changed the format and region in the card settings to PAL, but still no joy. I have treid a different TV same problem, also have tried all PAL formats and none of them want to work. The latest graphics drivers have also been installed. Any ideas on this, thanks in advace
 
Try changing the AV channel settings on the TV. My tv has 3 AV channels each able to display in 2 different formats (one outputs b/w the other colour)
 
thanks for the reply. I have tried both av's on my Sony tv no joy. Also tried my toshiba TV which only has 1 AV still not working. Any other ideas at all?

Many thanks
 
Hello all unforuntunately I dont have the solution instead I have the same problem right down to the same video card. I have tried multiple tv's and still it is black and white. So if anyone finds out how to fix this if you could let me know that would be great. Thanks ahead of time.
 
Has anyone contacted HP , it should be under warranty , and this should work .
 
Does your tv only have a scard connector ? If at has a seperate s-vhs connector connect the cable to this connector. And does your card only have a s-vhs connector or also a analog. If it has a analog try this one.

Problem is that many times if your tv does not have a svhs connector it can not display it through a scart adapter. Only if the scart formats the svhs signal to a analog straight signal you'll get color.
PAL is for Europe and NTSC for USA. If I set it to NTSC here in Europe I'll get a black and white image.

 
I had the same problem with my Radeon.
I'm using a composite cable with a SCART connector.
I used another SCART connector and voila...color!
