Mode Not Supported

Mar 8, 2009 9:06PM PDT

hey everyone, i searched and found a few topics but they didnt help. i don't know how to change the resolution.
i have a Samsung LN26A450C1D, and i have my nintendo Wii hooked up to it with 420p rca cables i guess they are (not hdmi) most games work fine but i have about 5 games that says Mode Not Supported, after doing a little search i found ppl were having problems due to resolution. so i got the orignal cables for the wii and connected them to the rca jacks on the side panel of the tv, loaded the game and this time it worked but it was all black and white and couldnt see the full screen. i went to all the options and couldnt find and resoloutins settings. any help would be great.
thanks

Changing res on TV

You can not change the resolution on the TV. The resolution has to be changed on the output device. TVs just display the resolution you send to them (unless they can not display it then you get "mode not supported").
