Getting TV-Out working
 

Anyone managed to get the TV-out working?

I've just tried it on my TV, all I got was black and white pictures with no sound.

My TV doesn't have the usual Yellow-Red-White rather it has this format:

I have no idea which cable should go where!
In order to get pictures, I plugged the yellow cable to the Green slot that said Y..got the pictures but it's in black and white.
Plugging the other Red+White cables into the Red-White slots on the left and the right didn't give me any sound!

My TV is UK PAL and the TV-Out is set to PAL.

You're out of luck. Like your situation, I recently purchased a new 1080p monitor/tv that only has component/hdmi/vga/dvi inputs. There are no composite inputs so I can do tv out with my n95/n900. You're only hope is to purchase a composite->component box that converts the yellow input into r/g/b

Re: Getting TV-Out working
 

Does your TV have a scart connector? They sometimes (usually?) accept composite input. You just need a simple cheap adapter that has scart in one end and composite connectors on other end. That is how I connect composite devices to my TV.

If you have a scart connector then check you TV manual if it supports composite.

Re: Getting TV-Out working
 

Dude, you're using the wrong connector. What you have on your tv is a component input (which if IIRC has blue, green and red). It goes something like one cable carries luminosity (that's why you get black&white), one color and one.... well, i', not sure. Anyway, you're not putting it in right [that's what she said! - sorry couldn't resist]
Remember, those jacks are color-coded for a reason. On the cable that goes into the phone: yellow carries the video, and white&red are the 2 sound channels. Your tv might not have all the connectors needed
And yes, scart uses composite input. It's what it was designed for

There have not been any reports of issues with the TV-Out..at least when the right cables are used :)

Works great. Plug it in and the N900 desktop shows up instantly.

Re: Getting TV-Out working
 

Yeah, you do not have to change anything in the settings except for NTSC/PAL.
If your new HDTV doesn't have composite input (the 3 output cables from the n900), it probably has scart. Just buy that little adapter and it will work just fine.

Re: Getting TV-Out working
 

There are devices that let you convert from composite to vga, dvi or component, but they are rather expensive. Just google composite to vga for example.

Works for me. My TV has the right holes. You tube volume is poor though - and the rendering not HD. ;)

omfg spacehole, the speed is over 9000!!!111!!

Re: Getting TV-Out working
 

The TV-out cable for the N900 ends in three RCA plugs: yellow, red, white.

If you have corresponding sockets on your TV, it plugs straight in.

If you don't have the yellow/red/white sockets on your TV, check out anything else that's plugged into your TV. Devices such as VCRs, DVD recorders and hard disk recorders often have RCA input sockets.

Still no luck? If your TV or any connected device has a SCART socket, you just need a very cheap adaptor (£1.45 from Amazon.co.uk, also available at any Radio Shack, Maplin, etc).

Re: Getting TV-Out working
 

my tv has component input. But the picture is black and white. :(

sound - ok
picture - ok

But no color:mad:
any ideas?

could component --> adapter --> scart give me color?

Re: Getting TV-Out working
 

The TV adapter for the phone only outputs in composite output.
IE. One cable for colour

Component video is 3 video cables for colour (not including the 2 audio cables)

Re: Getting TV-Out working
 

If I understand your situation correctly, my idea is that you read posts #4 and #10 again. And remember that component is not the same as composite.

Damn, right on. Thx

composite is to old...why do they keep doing this to me
