Help Please
I'm hoping someone here has either had this problem or knows a "fix" for it.
When using the RCA inputs on the Kewood DDX7015 I can only get a Black and White picture when I plug in either my Playstation or Xbox.
I know the problem isn't with the cable's as when I plug my PC or other devices in, I get full colour.
Anyone know of this issue or how to fix it???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yikes.
There are huge differences in PAL and NTSC signals - mostly in the color portion of the signals. Phase Alternating Line and Never The Same Color (twice)
use different color reference signals and there is no simple way to convert between the two. It might be cheaper to buy a second game machine from Japan, The Phillipines, or America that is NTSC.
I remember how bad the import duties were in Australia so I feel for ya'. I lived up in Exmouth for two years (Go Eagles!)

As to why its showing up black and white only with no other difficulties is beyond me, but its definatly a compatablity issue.

Thanks for the help guys - Oh well back to square 1 I guess.
Paul350z - were you in Exmouth when it got flattened in the cyclone?? I don't like the Eagles but they're 5-0 this year and looking pretty good.

OK - did a bit more digging and found out that Tacket and Paul 350z are spot on. For those interested here's a link to a simple article as to why the system won't work

On a brighter note, here's a product I need to get the system up and running
