Hello All,

Has anyone tried using S-Video out on a zv6000, mine is the one with the dedicated 128mb chip (Xpress 200M) it connects to the television but i seem to get a black and white image on all formats including NTSC which my TV Supports

The SVideo cord i put in converts the port to a Video out (you know yellow cable that is used as outputs for PS2's, Xboxs, Videos) (AV - Audio/Video) then i connect it to the AV slot on my TV, the svideo is a 4 Pin, for video only

Does anyone have any problems with the S-Video out?? is it black and white whatever you do?

My laptop screen stays in colour though

Usually when S-Video comes out black & white, it means that you are using the wrong cable type. I believe you need to get yourself a 7 pin S-Video cable.
