No picture from wii

Need to put yellow cable into monitor in and choose a input with video vcr, tv, or dvd. still no luck then yellow directly to tv.

Hello Julie

Thank you for using Fixya!!

OK, this is actually very easy once you get the hang of it:

The Yellow, Red and white cable you have, is actually the Video(Yellow) and the 2 stereo Audio cables(Red and White).



Now, the Yellow wire goes into the video port on the gaming unit, and into the Video input port on the TV itself. This is usually The AV channel's port.

The white and Red cable goes into the audio port on the gaming console, and into the audio in or AUX port on the receiver.

This should do the trick, but you will need to remember the following:

Once you want to use the gaming device, you should set the TV on the AV channel, n=and the receiver on the AUX channel.

Feel free to let me know if yu need any further assistance.

Kind regards

are you just trying to get the sound? Use a pair of audio in jacks like av5. (usually red and white inserts in jack and the color of the plug ends) if you have video switching and have hooked up a video out to your TV then you could also use a composite video connection (usually yellow insert in jack and yellow plug on wire) to send the picture to the TV. A higher signal source would be component (red,green & blue) or HDMI if your reciever has that level of signal swithing.(HDMI is audio and video in 1 cable)

On this receiver the tv must be connected to the Monitor RCA Composite (yellow) output in the rear when you use another Composite input. You can't connect the Wii with the Composite and expect to use the tv with the HDMI - this unit doesn't have an onboard converter.
Once you have connected it correctly just select as a source the front connectors.

There is probably a short in your av jacks somewhere, try going to a pawn shop or resale shop and getting some used av jacks off of another N64.

Let me write some basic things about audio and video signals and cables. Stereo audio has two channels, left and right, usually red and white (or black) jacks. You plug in audio cables. Video signals in old receivers are marked in yellow. If your receiver does not have video (yellow) input, usually located above the two audio inputs, you will not be able to watch any video signal through the receiver. The receiver will only play the sound of dvd, since its left and right audio channels are properly connected. Just aux and phono inputs are not enough. Hope this may help.

The Wii AV cable should have a red/white pair of Audio Output jacks on it.
Check out pg. 8 of the Wii manual: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/downloads/WiiOpMn_setup.pdf
Connect the red/white RCA plugs from the AV cable to a line level audio input on your receiver. If you use AUX IN, then select AUX IN on the INPUT selector switch. You should then hear the sound from the Wii through your receiver/home theater system.

Connect the Wii to your television. Then connect the variable audio output from the TV to the audio in on the monitor section of the receiver. Then use the TV/SAT input selection on the receiver and dolby prologic 2 as your sound mode.

try changing the av to another channel or if you have access to a front panel or side panel on the tv set, try using this for your av leads 'red' 'yellow' and 'white'. Also check that the av lead is correctly inserted into the back of the wii

Your LCD TV should have one of the following types of inputs:

1. Composite. This is usually a yellow jack, along with red and white jacks for audio.
   If your TV has these, which it should, then the cable that comes with the Wii will plug directly into these jacks. Plug the yellow to the yellow jack, the red to the red jack, and the white to the white jack.
2. S-Video. This is a flat black jack. There are four little holes, and one "flat" rectagular hole. There should also be a red and white jack that go along with this for audio.
   In order to connect to this input, you will need to purchase an S-Video output cable for the Wii. Most stores that sell Wiis will sell a third-party cable for this.
   This connection will give you a significantly better picture than Composite.
   S-Video does not carry audio, so you still need to plug the red plug into the red jack and the white plug into the white jack or you'll get only video and no audio!
   
3. Component video. This is a triplet of Red, Green and Blue jacks. There is usually a set of red and white jacks along with them for audio again.
   This connection will give you the best picture, and you can set your Wii to EDTV (Progressive) mode.
   To connect to this input, you will need to get the Wii Component Video cable. Most stores that sell Wiis will either sell the official Nintendo one, or a third-party cable.
   Connect the red plug to the red jack, the green plug to the green jack, and the blue plug to the blue jack. Also connect the red audio plug to the red audio jack and the white audio plug to the white audio jack.
   Be careful not to get the red audio plug confused with the red video plug!
   If you see a picture, but the colors are wrong, then you either swapped the red and blue, or you connected the red audio plug instead of the red video plug.
