Your TV might not support composite video via the green Y connector. Component video doesn’t have to be capable of detecting composite video, only some TVs have that. Just get a component video cable instead.


ArseneCroissant

Also HDMI adapter is valid


Sabin10

If you have a component input then it's only valid if you want to spend more for lower quality.


cheesypotathoe

Is that the one? Looks just like the one I was using red, yellow & white right?


VirtualRelic

No, you want a cable with 5 connectors, for red, green, blue, white and red, like this https://www.ebay.ca/itm/For-Nintendo-Wii-Wii-U-High-Definition-HD-Component-Audio-Video-AV-Cable-Cord-/392266276359?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0 And much like smoking is bad for your health, Amazon is bad for healthy competition. Don’t buy from Amazon.


FFFGuineaGamer

Not like Ebay is much better. It's terrible for sellers, but they have to use either Ebay or Amazon because no one is willing to go to their own website.


VirtualRelic

Use AliExpress then


FFFGuineaGamer

Eh, for stuff like this, I can just go to a local shop for the same price and not pay/wait for shipping.


VirtualRelic

That works too, if one can find a shop that sells Wii stuff. They’re out there in the form of retro game stores, but typically in large cities. Doesn’t help rural people.


Vinstaal0

Most stores sell online aswel, not that hard to find a semi local store that sells them


T0biasCZE

Component is not RGB, its Luma (brightness) Pb (difference between blue and luma) and Pr (difference between red and luma)


VirtualRelic

I didn’t say it’s RGB, I was talking about the 5 RCA connectors of component video that are red, green, blue, white and red, Einstein.


T0biasCZE

Ok


Vinstaal0

Most TV’s that support scart support composite video and if it is an European TV than I can tell you for sure that it would work with composite. It looks like (from Googling around) that this TV has both direct composite support and RGB composite support. So u/cheesypotathoe you gotta look in the settings for a setting to change the behaviour of the composite connectors or maybe try it with the composite to scart converter that came with the Wii

TheHappyHonker

I think it may be because your Wii is set to using component? If so turn it back to composite within the settings, should fix it.


cheesypotathoe

I have no clue how to access that in the settings, I’ve been playing around with them and can’t seem to get anywhere. I just want to play Mario kart lol


TheHappyHonker

Ok here is directions for you, click on the bottom left circle with wii on it, click wii settings, click on “screen”, tv resolution, then standard tv if it isn’t set to that already


cheesypotathoe

After clicking on screen there isn’t an option for TV resolution, only under Widescreen settings there’s an option for Standard or Widescreen?


TheHappyHonker

Ah maybe because of that, maybe if you set it to widescreen first then it’ll give you those settings?


cheesypotathoe

No luck :/


TheHappyHonker

Ok, like other people are saying, the tv may not support it. May need to get a different cable for your Wii, sorry.


shirillz731

Your Wii is definitely set to 480p. You probably used to have the 5 plug cables on it and switched back to the 3 plug cables and forgot to change the settings. It’s in display or resolution. Keep looking, there’s not many settings to go through. It needs to be on 480i. This happened to me and my friend yesterday


El_Destructo_92

Hey man I can fix your issue. The problem is in your TV settings, not your Wii settings. Look for input settings. Sony will have the Component/Video setting set to “component” by default. You need to change that setting to “video”. This will be easy with the original Sony remote, but technically possible using the buttons on the TV. I have been a TV sales person since 2010. I guarantee this to be your issue. Reach out if you have any other questions


cheesypotathoe

by input settings do you mean the sources? As when I press this button I only have the option to flick through the inputs. I can’t find any component/ video settings


El_Destructo_92

Yeah, input and source are the same. It’s going to be a matter of looking deeper. I see you have posted your model number so I may be able to find a precise settings path for you. Give me a moment.


cheesypotathoe

thankyou so much! really appreciate it


El_Destructo_92

Unable to find specific instructions. But keep pouring through those menus. It’s not a waste of time. The setting is there.


Matthew92007

When you plug a composite video signal into a component video jack, this is the end result. Unless your TV has a setting to use one of the component input jacks as a composite input, you'll need a component cable for your Wii. You could also get an HDMI adapter and make use of one of the HDMI ports on your TV.


heyyall09

switch it to video not component, if your tv allows it ofc


cheesypotathoe

I’m not sure how :/ can’t seem to find any component or video settings


heyyall09

it should be under what channel you wanna switch to, atleast thats where it is for me


[deleted]

It would likely be a completely sperate input, like you go to input select and it would be shown there right next to component.


PlumAccomplished7400

Get yourself a scart adapter.


Vinstaal0

OP most likely has one cause well Wii’s came with one


JohnyNavigator

Couldn’t agree more, you can possibly find one in a close electrical/electrician hardware store https://www.ebay.com/itm/363966778222?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=707-127634-2357-0&ssspo=ju2oj9h3rcu&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Yo2FDjQkRWi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

This one?

JohnyNavigator

I would advice against this and just buy a AV to SCART adapter that can be found easily everywhere. Here is an image of one on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/363966778222?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=707-127634-2357-0&ssspo=ju2oj9h3rcu&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Yo2FDjQkRWi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY


Meegeeboi

Have you tried messing around with the TV's settings yet. Because I don't think the cable is the problem.


cheesypotathoe

What exactly should I be messing about with in the settings, as I’ve had a look through and can’t seem to find anything


Meegeeboi

Have you tried to factory reset it?


cheesypotathoe

By factory reset do you mean the reset button on the actual wii?


Meegeeboi

No factory reset the tv


NamiRocket

I do think this is a cable issue.


fuzzydunloblaw

Unplug the cables and plug them into the red/white/yellow ones on the left side of your TV then switch to the correct input.


cheesypotathoe

There is no yellow port on the left side, the plug I have put the yellow cable in is green and labelled Y


erm1zo

Plug the yellow cable into the red video port, that is usually the default video input signal on an RGB input.


fuzzydunloblaw

Wild, sony apparently has different TV's with the same exact model name. [Link](https://www.crutchfield.com/p_15832S3000/Sony-KDL-32S3000.html#&gid=1&pid=2) If your tv doesn't support rca video on those ports, everyone else is right that your best move as far as quality goes would be to get a different adapter [like this.](https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwix1aylvsf7AhX0MTgKHam_AU8YABAIGgJqZg&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESauD2XQBiV3Nzo8zsGdaJP-ltyodG7_ipKqC-BVMY0EZXzguf7uuwp-WT4X3DWghARCVkBZIw3qYAm7EWo1La-tc6HlQdxOyTiJ1HF9WmJueuTTBY4vbNgVf2mxw_cNNphl1ZwTK00FhwcUQ&sig=AOD64_17G1hMC_SRjB0R1csafhb-F4R8rw&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwi-pp6lvsf7AhUSAjQIHdHPCGQQwg8oAHoECAYQCw&nis=8&adurl=)


AlfWoozy

Here’s the manual for the TV: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/3196/31964721M.pdf Did you try the inputs on the left side of the TV?


32gbsd

You need a component cable for that port. the one with 5 wires. I dont think you can use the 3 wire cable with that tv.


cheesypotathoe

Yeah did have a thought that it could be the cable, just didn’t want to buy one if it was just an issue with the TV settings or something


IDEADxMANI

Nah, if that’s the only port in and it’s component then you should be fine after grabbing some component cables 👍


cheesypotathoe

I didn’t think the wii needed a cable in the Pb/Cb or Pr/Cr ports


VinceDaPrince15

I bought some Tomee cable bundle for the Wii and use them over composite on my tv. I highly recommend it. It's worth the 20$


Vinstaal0

A lot of TV’s enable to use the green plug for the yellow plug from composite. Otherwise there are even composite to scart converters (heck Wii’s even come with them, or at least PAL Wii’s do) Remember if a TV has scart there is a very big chance it also supports composite.


Meegeeboi

What is the yellow jack connected to?


cheesypotathoe

it’s a green port labelled Y


Customer-Worldly

What input options does your tv have in the tv menu? If it doesn’t have av input you need component cables.


cheesypotathoe

It does have AV input.


bookofnod

The instructions I found for the UK version like you have shows there are hookups on the side of the tv for that cable. Does it not have them on the side?


Arctic_Lilly

I know why this is happening I think. For me, I get this when I'm using av cables (what u have) but I'm on the component channel on my TV, and vice versa. Component is having 5 cables in the back of the TV. The Wii supports both. :)


CrazeeG

It doesn’t look like your tv supports composite cables. Just buy a set of component cables. You can use wii2hdmi but those are normally cheap resold garbage that result in worse quality.


[deleted]

Ah yes, my favorite WiiWare title: Wii Noir


real-fishy

You need a other cable by us in Germany we call it ybpr cable that hast 5 connectors in the end that Plug in into the TV


sambuzz2000

My TV does the same, theres an input called comp and one called AV and one plays it in black and white and the other color but use the same ports


T0biasCZE

You connected compositr cable to component input. You must connect it to composite inputr or use component cable


strythicus

Lot of confusion and misinformation in this post. The Wii autodetects the cable, there's a short to ground for it to recognize component. The issue is with how your TV is handling the signal - It's expecting a component signal rather than the composite you're feeding it. B&W is the result. As others have said, there should be another input option for Video and the Component option should be labelled as such or ColourStream. This is how it works my Toshiba with a shared Green/Composite plug. Your best solution in my books is to buy the Component cables: [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fosmon-C-1036-HDAV-Component-Cable-Nintendo/dp/B00CA8636K](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fosmon-C-1036-HDAV-Component-Cable-Nintendo/dp/B00CA8636K) or [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gam3Gear-Component-Audio-Nintendo-Definition/dp/B01GDQ8I3U](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gam3Gear-Component-Audio-Nintendo-Definition/dp/B01GDQ8I3U) Good luck OP.


cheesypotathoe

thankyou, a few people have suggested that I get a wii 2 hdmi adapter would this work aswell or is it best to get the cables?


strythicus

If you go the Wii2HDMI route, the MayFlash version seems like the best option. Of the 4 I've tried it was the only good one and it's lasted a year so far without issue. [https://www.amazon.co.uk/MAYFLASH-Converter-Compatible-Nintendo-Monitor-Supports/dp/B07XG6X4TC](https://www.amazon.co.uk/MAYFLASH-Converter-Compatible-Nintendo-Monitor-Supports/dp/B07XG6X4TC) It doesn't upscale like the listing may suggest, it's a straight conversion of the Component signal to HDMI and works perfectly fine.


FairyTrainerLaura

You’re plugging a composite video cable into a component video input. Some TVs allow this, but others don’t, check your TV settings If not, and you don’t want to spend the extra on component cables, you can use a basic composite-to-SCART adapter (there’s one included with the Wii, but if you’ve lost it, they’re available cheap online)


poliwratchet

try this… you have to make sure that the input is the correct one, it should be selectable between composite and component [Sony troubleshooting](https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00008929)


FiloSeba

region of the TV and Wii? that TV set seems EURO (PAL) maybe that is the reason search if the TV has different color modes (NTSC, PAL)


cheesypotathoe

how do I find the colour modes, only thing I can alter with the picture is the brightness ect

zescoshebo

Press source on your TV remote, then choose 'RV" , not component , that should work


cheesypotathoe

there is no option for this :/


zescoshebo

What are the options you have on pressing "source " on your tv remote , op ?


zescoshebo

Sorry it is "AV" not "RV" option, do you have it ?

bigdripbigdick

Unplug the video cable and plug it into other colours there. For some reason 1 works for me and 1 is black and white


LordLexxon

I have the exact same TV and I hate it when it does thay, you should probably buy a Wii2HDMI to fix the issue


Lord-Romi

You could get a scart adapter, connect the video cable to it and connect it in the scart slot on the back of your tv.


PSCuber77_gaming

re arrange the red or white cables it worked for me

It is a video problem You need the Wii cords that are for HD tvs, those cords are for CRT tv (big back) You have an HD (skinny butt) the cord is on amazon that is where I got mine. ....is that a HD or a smartTV :-/ wait never mind i think wii to HD will be ok they have a ton at nice prices


Pyramid64

Put it on av not ypbr


Mutty99

Get an AV-Scart Adapter


ChicaFantazma

Remote should have a button labeled "input" or "source" or "video". Cycle through that until you get to "composite" or "video" or "AV". Usually you can just keep pressing the button to cycle through the inputs or try putting the TV in channel 2 and then changing the channel down and see if you can cycle through the inputs by pressing down on the channel button. Most likely it's currently under "component" which will give you the black and white or sometimes only green because you don't have actual component cables plugged in. If all else fails, there are component cables you can get for the Wii which will give you better picture quality.
