So, I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I can't plug my wii's RCA ports into my tv, which is marketed as having rca ports. The only 2 remotely close ports are these blue and yellow ones. Is there anyway I can plug it into these without an adapter?

You don't always have to use ALL of the RCA plugs, just try using two of each until it possibly may work.

Wow.... Never seen a blue rca myself either but Yeah, there's no harm in plugging into them to test, you won't break anything but I'd check your tv manual for a description on how to use it. It may be a dual signal port so one cable would suffice and you may have to play with your tv settings.

You have the Yellow, white and red cable right? You plug white and red in the L and R (audio) and the yellow, you plug in the green one, marked with Y, you see that it is green and has a bit of yellow, you need to plug it there. Tell me if it worked.
Did you even read the post or look at the picture?? They do not have red and white inputs on the tv.

I found this one on amazon and it's pretty cheap.
Or you can just buy a wii2hdmi, for better graphics.

You got 3 options (in order of picture quality)
1) Get the Samsung TV adapter AND a Wii component cable.
2) Get a Wii2HDMI adapter.
3) Get just the Samsung TV adapter and plug in your Wii composite cables.

This may not be related, but I have an ATGAMES Sega Genesis, and it only has two RCA ports on the back: A yellow, and a white.
Yet, it still displays fine on my tv.
I say, try the white plug on top, and the yellow one on the bottom.

How is him supposed to plug a RCA cable into a P2 input?

It both worked and didn't work as the image is in black and white, is this normal or is something wrong?

Edit: Scratch that, the TV's too smart, I had both the blue and yellow plugged in instead of just yellow so it thought it was component not AV.
