has your tv got s-video in, if it has just use the s-video lead and separate audio leads. i think that sorted the colour issues out. seems a issue when using the scart socket

if u getting black and white check in your display settings for output type (it may be unbder country or something like that) but more than lickely u got it set to NTSC not PAL, if it isnt set to PAL recon that might be your problem

Oh actually just thought SVhs dont convert to well into scart (RGB) but if u look on the ATI website there is a link somewhere to a lead that does the conversion properly, so might be your lead not the card

so do they do a lead that does headphone jack on pc to two phono audio in on tv?

What u think runs to pc speakers
