I have now placed the PS3 i have into my sons bedroom, now his TV only has scart connection which plays fine but only in black & white. ihave tried connecting the cable through the componet onputs on antother TV and works fine, so no assuming the cable is working ok. I have tried using the scart connection on 2 other tvs and the same black and white playbeack happens. can anyone shed some light on the problem. Oh by the way i have held down the power button to double check that its set correctly to use the scart connect.

 

Hope someone can help me

Hmm.. I can't think of anything other than the obvious: Are you playing a game that's in black and white, e.g. Madworld? Also, have you tried altering the contrast and other display settings on the television?

Listen to the above. Closest I've had to a console is an old GameBoy Color.

It might be to do with PAL and NTSC. Where do you live and where did you purchase the console?

Ehhh, what's a scart connection? I still don't fully understand the problem. You've stated that you've tried several television sets, but have you tried another set of cables, or the same set of cables with a VCR or similar device(I am assuming that a scart cable is similar to composite)? Another option is to use a converter box to convert scart to another format, such as composite, coaxial, or S-video.(once again, assuming such a thing exists, and that scart is similar to the aforementioned items).
