A friend gave me his Mitsubishi 35 inch color TV CS3504R.
I get great picture on all channels, all inputs- cable, antenna, VCR but only black and white.
I get no color.
I have changed the tint and color controls from the menu- no change.
Also, the menu IS in COLOR!?!! so I know the color part works just great.
I am scratching my head. I don't know enough about TVs to figure out why I cannot get over the air color but can get internal color.
?
but
great.
why
loose connections on the xtal in the chroma decoder
-Ben
may sound obvious, but if youre using a scart lead, make sure that is in properly at noth ends.
Do you have good color on the monitor output?
