It's not my TV; my Wii and PC images show up perfectly when I use them, but when I plug in my Pandora, I get a fully grayscale image. I just got the cord.
TV cable does not transmit color.

The Pandora and Wiiare both using regular AV cables (red, white, yellow). PC uses HDMI.

Make sure the connection in TV-Out configuration is set to Composite if you use that Yellow connection

I tried that, but then it just looks all weird and jiggly.

You have an S-cable to try (assuming your TV has S-Video input)?

did you select PAL or NTSC in the TV-out configuration ? You need to check this, since selecting the wrong one for your TV will give black and white output.

On my parent's old crt I had a similar issue using s-video. Enlarging the video size to the maximum in tv-out settings fixed the issue.

Mkay, so I tried NTSC. The reason that didn't work before was because it was set to S-video, so that's why nothing showed up. I set it to composite with NTSC, and now the colors work fine.
The new issue, however, is I can't get the entire Pandora display on the screen; the edges get trimmed off. I've made it as big as it allows on the config, but that hasn't fixed it. My TV is a brand new plasma screen, and doesn't have options for minute zoom control.

You can play with the X-Y positions as well as Width and Height for the size in the TV-Config.

When you say the edges are trimmed off, do you mean you're actually losing some of the picture information, or just that you are getting black bars either side (but seeing the entire desktop)?

Neither. The image fills the screen, but goes beyond as well. I can't see the taskbar, and the sides and top are off screen too. None of my TV's options allow me to put the whole display onscreen without screwing up the aspect and distorting everything.

The TV-out settings dialog lets you adjust for overscan. Try making it smaller? You should notice how it stretches when you adjust the "window size", which is the size that is output.

OH! I thought that was how much of the Pandora display I was shoing. Heheh, I got it to fit now. Thank you!
