Problems connecting Amiga to TV
« on: January 30, 2006, 08:42:39 PM »
Hi,


I bought this Amiga 1200, and i've got a few problems with it.
If it's connected to a monitor (we tested it with the seller), it works fine. But when it's connected to a TV, my colors are all messed up (RF) or it's just black&white(composite). The screen is also shaped weird. A friend of mine said it might have sync problems.

Pictures:

http://f3.channelwood.org/Amiga/AMIGA003.jpg <-- Composite

Any advice would be helpfull.


Thanks!

I already tried that...
The weird thing is that it has the same problem with Composite out, but it's black & white...

Thanks for replying though :)

That's a problem too, the TV in my room doesn't have scart. It's a really old piece of junk... :)

Is it possible to connect an Amiga to a standard VGA monitor (as in, a PC monitor?)

Hmm then i'll have to replace the mobo...

The guy i bought it from said he would replace the mobo (i emailed him about it:) )

But, if anyone knows a better solution or knows what it is, that would be better :)

Anyway, thanks for your help, guys... I really appreciate it.


Greets,


-Steve
