TV-out shows black & white on TV

[JekyllSan]

Hi everyone,

I have an AMS 968L barebone system that's running perfectly, the only thing is I've been trying to connect it to my TV through the onboard Intel graphic chipset with both S-video and composite outputs. It appears that both connections to my TV show black and white picture. For the S-video output, I used an adaptor that converts S-Video to composite video jack. I've never experience this before so I'm asking for advice or answers to solve my problem.

Any reply is certainly appreciated.

Thanks

Check to make sure you're in the right country-code settings (NTSC/PAL, USA/Japan, etc) and that your convertor isn't suffering from any bent/broken/missing pins.

And also check the output is set correctly (ie: S-video/composite) - test each of them until you get colour. I think I had this problem because the country code was set wrongly, or because I had the wrong output type (can't remember which it was).
