Black and White using AV

[G4m3r11]

Hi there, recently I decided to move my Nintendo Wii downstairs to the bigger TV. This TV is a Finlux 55UT3E242S-T. Instead of having the classic Red, White and Yellow connectors, this TV has the Red and White audio inputs alongside 3 other inputs (Red, Blue and Green) labeled Y, Pb and Pr. I have managed to get a black and white image displayed by plugging the Yellow component cable into the Green port, however that is it. I took a look at Nintendo's official guide on this and it said:

 

If you're only finding the image in black and white, you may need to switch the setting of the input select from a component signal to a standard AV signal. This can be done by

• An on screen menu option. This is often accessed by using the "Menu" button on the remote.
• A button on the remote that switches between the standard and component signals. These can be labeled such things as "AV" or "Video."

When I go into the menu on my TV, I simply can not find this option, and looking at the online manual there is no button for this function on the remote. Thank you for taking your time to read this, and I hope you can help.

plug the yellow cable into the port labeled with the Y , then in the tv's input settings select composite

actually checking the manual shows that your tv does have a regular composite input

on the side of a tv is a yellow 3.5mm connector that needs an adapter cable plugged into it to turn it into composite

The Green one is the one labeled Y. As for the input settings, I already know to do that, I just can't find it in the input settings.

The thing is, I didn't get an adapter when I bought the TV (second hand), and it said online that it should work this way anyway.

I'm not sure a tv that has a proper composite input would support composite through the component ports. that's usually a feature of a tv that only has that specific port available.

Nevermind then, will have to stick with black and white until I can find a replacement adapter. Thanks for clarifying this though.

The adapter is very cheap and common

Thanks, will definitely be getting one soon then.

Edit: Just looked at the listing and it doesn't exactly seem cheap. Might just be a scam listing but I would be more careful giving out links to listings if I were you.
