| Black & white output After a long period i retried to use the TV-monitor as output for home made videos, DivX, DVD, ... Connection = S-video Monitor settings = Pal B - 50 Mhz TV = primary output graca = Ati 8500 DV I read a bunch of tutorials (even have them printed in my archive) and followed them step by step. Everything works fine (TV - output is very detailed, movies + images look very crisp, sound = excellent), except for the TV-output being black & white. ... something i overlooked ?

| Still B&W. Switching set off and on doesn't work. Pal-M requires bios flash with experimental bios. But i shouldn't need that, it should work "out of the box". Maybe i can switch to a coaxial cable to connect pc & tv ... or buy (yet another) cable: s-video + 2 audio ===== scart One pluspoint: i discouvered "theatre mode", playing a movie on the pc automatically displays the movie fullscreen on the tv.

| make sure you don't have cinch connection selected. It should autodetect (then again windows should be bugfree), but might be bugged (hey where did I see that before). Cinche sends all data over 1 channel, s-vhs goes over 2: one for brightness and one for color. could be defective cable/connection/card/TV... |

| Changed s-video + 2 cinch by: 3 cinch - 3 cinch (+ scart adapter) Works like a charm, image & colors are sharp & vivid ... impecable quality
