spaceinvader12 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Hi, I've got an Atari 2600 JR that has been sitting for maybe a month. I was at a thrift store yesterday and picked up Pitfall, Pole position, and Adventure for a grand $6. This inspired me to pull out the 2600 again (I've been busy with 68k related Mac projects) but I'm having a strange issue. Regardless of the position of the b/w color switch, it remains in black and white. However, it's different shades of black and white, something which I think the photos can explain better than I can. I'm also not getting any sound. This is the Atari in b/w mode and the colors all look correct. This is the Atari when I set it to color mode. It stays black and white but the shades are all wrong. As a side note, I know the RF cable and coaxial switch box are fine; they both work perfectly with my c64. What could cause this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Yurkie Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 It could be that your Samsung LED TV can't display the console properly. I would try another TV, ideally a CRT. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceinvader12 Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 The TV displayed the Atari picture fine last time I pulled it out around a month ago. This is a new and recent issue making me think it's the console itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
