Neo Geo component out... too much red

[djhwood1]

So I recently bought a component modded Neo and I am running it thru a component connection on a CRT. The picture looks great, but it seems that things are TOO RED. Almost like anything with a red base, especially the background, is saturated in redness and rust. Anyone else have this issue? Would running it S-Vid fix it?

You dont want to go down to s-video, you want to make this work as it should.

Do the following:
Try it on another TV with component.
Open it up and check the connections.
See the the RGB to Component has adjustments on it.
Take photos and post them here so i can see the converter.
Tell me what brand and model your CRT is.

could it be that the TV you're using is badly calibrated? You might want to try to adjust the colors on your Telly.

Ok... this is going to take a bit of work to pull it apart. I am a bit nervous to do so bc this Neo is pristine and the modifications are from JNX which does great work. I have been in contact with the modders... I bought the console already modded and these guys are great. James at JNX there suggested that the original customer may have ordered it with some adjustment "pots" which would enable me to turn down the red. I will do my best to open this up later today. Thanks.

I cannot turn the colors down individually on the tv... it only has generic options such as color, picture, brightness, detail... but I am not ruling out that it is the TV.

 

[NEO-GEO man]

It could be, which is why i want you to test another TV.

Ineed to see inside to know if there is pots, cause that is very likely the issue.

And this is why i dont approve of those pots to adjust colour individually. Bad idea.

Anyway, lets see what we see first.

I am thinking the Neo is fine bc my KOF is perfect. It actually seems that the colors in SS5 were meant to be this way.

Hey I think ur the guy I sold my aes too on Craigslist

LOL... Yeah man, that's one of the backgrounds in SamSho V. If it was a red issue, the fighters would be washed out red, not to mention your other games would be affected as you so astutely pointed out.

See 5:10 in the vid for the same background.

Sent you a pm. System does not have adjustment pots. Don't bother opening up the system. Its more then likely your TV. I used the system on my Samsung LCD tv and never noticed any colors out of whack, even when using the mvs converter.

Thanks for the help guys.

 

[NEO-GEO man]

even when using the mvs converter.

Which will make absolutely no difference.
