Hello all,
Sorry if this has already been answered. But I have looked through the posts and can't seem to find any similar problem.
What it is, is that I used to live in the UK, and I bought my Wii there and also had a 32" TV that I could play my wii through using the component cable.
I have since moved to Berlin in Germany and purchased the following TV
Toshiba 32 C 3530 DG 32 You can go here to look at the specs as this is where I bought it from. http://www.amazon.de/Toshiba-3530-Z..._sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=gateway&qid=1201244999&sr=8-1
Now when I plug in my will using the crappy composite cable I am able to get a picture and sound fine. Although the quality is crappy I can still play games no problem. But when I plug in the component cable and switch to its channel I get no picture and no sound.
Now I have read that I must edit the wii settings under screen settings in the wii menu to be able to use my component cable, but there is the catch 22, if I don't have the component cable plugged in I cannot select the HDTV settings on my TV, but if I have the cable plugged in I get no sound and no picture, and so I am not able to go to the settings and select this option.
Hmmm, so which is supposed to come first the chicken or the egg in this case.?
Any help would be useful. I don't really want to keep using the crappy composite cable when I have component.
Thanks.
