Hello,

I have 1 problem and I found al lot of people with that problem, but
no good sollution.

The pictures on my tv are gray (black/white), how do I get colour ? I
use the standard setting of Clone (by nView-Modi)

I have:
Geforce 2 mx/mx 400
Windows 2000
S-VHS Scat cable

Because your TV can't handle S-video ?

You probably need an adapter to composite.

As the OP noted this seems to be a common problem with s-video out on VGA
adapters. I've seen it on nVideo chips and the problem may be specific to
nVidia's reference design. I have a Panasonic HDTV that is perfectly
capable of handling s-video and have experienced the same problem with my
Ti4200. It was only by accident that I found a solution that works for me.
I have a A/V switching stereo receiver and if I run the s-video from the
Ti4200 to the receiver and then from the receiver to the TV, it works
perfectly. If I run the s-video from the Ti4200 directly to the TV I get
the B/W problem.

I would still like to be able to go directly to the TV. But until someone
can actually define the reason for this problem and a solution can be found,
I'll have the receiver in the loop.

I presume you have selected the correct TV standard depending where you are
? ie NTSC for the USA / Japan. PAL for almost the rest of the world. You
will get B & W in NTSC mode on a PAL TV and vice versa probably

checked the PAL / NTSC output is correct?

you need to use RGB settings instead of S-Video
