I did as someone else suggested and hook up the red & white audio ports, and then hook the yellow cord to the top of the other side of 3 ports. The picture shows up, but there is no color. Do I need to buy a different set of component cords?

Were you able to resolve the black and white picture? I amin the same situation and the picture doesn't look as clear as before?  If you were able to fix it what did you do? Does it need an adapter?

I had problems with the color and brightness on my Wii as well when I was using a composite cable.

I bought this cheap component cable and everything looks great now:

If you are using the red, white, and yellow cables, you should not be using colorstream. Change the video input setting from colorstream to video.

Thanks, Peter!  My friend and I were going crazy until I found the answer here, in this forum.  I downloaded the 141-page User Manual and finally found it on page 56, "Setting the A/V Input Mode".  BTW, my friend says he got no manual with this TV, factory-sealed, NIB.  Is this a boo-boo or the norm?

Glad you figured it out, Pj. It is the normal now. TVs come with quick start guides but the manual is online.
