Problems with Wii HD cable, require help.

I bought a Nyko HD-link component cable for my Wii that comes with blue, green, and red cords on one side. And red and white on the other. My best configuration so far is green for video, red and white for audio.

But everytime I plug this in, the television goes black and white. Both my Wii and Televisions were bought in North America as the same with the cable, and both the TV's I have tried it on are HD (One is 720p, and the other is 1080i).

I have no idea what to do now and don't want to resort to the old cables as my TV is extremely fuzzy with the normal ones. The picture is clear on the hd cable, but it is black and white. Please help.

Your "best configuration"? Lol. You can't make it up, all component cables must be inserted the same way. Blue, Green and Red are all video. The other Red and White are audio. Check your TV has all these slots. Basically, you'll need to use all of them in the correct colour slot.

By best configuration I ment the configuration that actually worked (Besides colour).

I only have 3 slots on my TV's. Red, yellow, and white. Do I require 5 slots to enable the colour? As their are 2 more plugs on my cable.

That means your TV does not support HD cables. Sorry. You need three video slots and two audio slots. Razoroo

Also the Wii doesn't support HD, only 480p which still uses the same cables.

Well of course, but it still uses component cables for 480p, which makes things a LOT better. So crisp and clear.

True, but that TV doesn't support Component from the sound of it.

We have HD sound in the back by the way. Too bad my main Tv is a monsterious 130kg CRT from the deepest depths of hell. I don't think i'll be moving it anytime soon.

So the connections on the back of the televsion would provide a better hook-up then the front standard ones, eh?

Yes you will need to get to the back of the TV somehow. Eat some vegetables or lift some weights and move that sucker.

Very well! I shall call in a team of strong man to budge it out a bit.

By the way, will this work with 1080i as well?

But it will work with a 1080i TV as they also support 480p, but don't go folling yourself, the Wii won't be in HD.
