Radeon 9700 Pro TV out, black and white only?

[BD231]

I just got a 9700pro in a trade a few day's ago and I hooked up the S-Video out to my TV and I'm getting a picture but no color. My Radeon 8500 had color though, do the R9700's not do color with TV out or something? I'm thinking it could possibly be the S-Video to RCA S-Video adapter, the adapter I got looks nothing like what ATI normally packs with their cards. The guy I got it from could have possibly swapped the connector and kept the original one for himself :frown:. Anyone know if it's just the connector?, or do all 9700's display in black and white to TV's?

Try changing a jumper or driver settings to/from NTSC/PAL (depending on country)

My GF2MX was in B/W until i changed a jumper on the board to be PAL, and same with my GF4Ti4200, only that was done in the drivers 🙂

I see NTSC option, but there are all kinds of Pal options, they look like this:

Pal B
Pal D
Pal G
Pal H
Pal I
Pal K
Pal L

I can choose from any one of those, which one should I click? I don't want to screw my TV up 😱

I went ahead and tried all of them, and every one caused the TV to go crazy on me 😕.

hmm, your profile shows you to be in the US so NTSC is the correct setting for your tv.
suggest you don't use the included adapter as it didn't work correctly when I used it with my laptop.

Nope nothing there, can anyone tell me if their 9700 dose black and white only as well? Maybe I'll just write ATI.

well, stupid things here, but

if your tv is old turn it off and on a couple times
test your cable and make sure it is good, hook it up to something else, i've seen bad svid cables do incredibly strange things to images
try at least 3 different driver versions

before you bother contacting ATI

WHERE DO YOU DO THAT IN THE DRIVERS?

I checked over the cable's and tried some new ones, they both do the same thing. Don't really want to roll back drivers, a few games have problems without the new ones ATI just put out.

Not sure if your reply was me. but I was referring to the Ti4200 drivers. 🙂
