I bought a new Seiki HDTV recently and connected it to my Directv receiver via RCA connector (there is no HDMI input on the receiver for whatever reason) and it is in black and white and it's very pixel-y. My PS3 is connected to it with an HDMI cable and its picture is fine and colored and everything, so I figured it must be something wrong with the RCA connector. Anyone know what it could be?
Your PS3, TV, and HDMI cable are all HD. RCA is SD. The video will not be in HD so it will look grainy. If the picture is balck and white I think it's connected wrong. RCA is red, white, yellow and should match colors with the TV inputs
HDtvs receiving SD signals over rca connectors look bad. You need to upgrade your direct tv box to an HD one with an HDMI output and hook it to your tv with an HDMI cable. You can use the r c a cable if you really want to, just be sure you are plugging it into a matching input on the tv. Your new tv may not have an obvious yellow (video) input, so look for the red/green/blue component video input and try one of those and use the red/white audio next to that input for sound.
undesirable theory. The RCA jack is calling forward to un-amplified indicators. in case you hook speaker wires to a RCA plug and stick it in - you would be sending WATTS of ability into circuits no longer designed for it. you like a Speaker element to Line element adapter which I certainly have self concept is on the industry from Radio Shack. yet you're extremely hooking matters up incorrect. you like a Dolby digital AV receiver that has a LFE/Subwoofer output. contained interior the receiver, it routes the low frequencies to this output. while you're taking benefit of speaker wires - it incorporates lots greater helpful indicators than the sub is calling forward to to look after, and you lots cases decide for to furnish the subwoofer OUTPUT to the L/R or center speaker. you would be loosing each and every of diverse sounds using speaker wires. it ought to help in case you listed your kit.
