Black and White only out of RGB Green Input to PVM 20

Post by dinsyfresh9 »

Hi Group!

New to the forums but I have a problem. I have a PVM 20L2 that seems to have a problem with the Green input on the RGB. The Blue and Red inputs are perfect but the Green only displays in black and white. When I plug S-Video in from the same console to the same PVM colours are perfect. I've switched around the cables and the green input always displays the same. I am wondering if anyone has had this problem and if there are remedies Thanks!

It sounds like you have the monitor set to YPbPr (component video) mode. In that mode, the green input is Y, or luma, which is brightness (black and white).

You can confirm this by hitting MENU and seeing if RGB/COMP SEL says "RGB" or "COMP". If it says "COMP", then go down to the fourth entry (the toolbox icon) and change RGB/COMP SEL to "RGB".
