Turn on the Wii without the AV cabled plugged in. Wait a few seconds, try to pair up the wii mote. Then plug in the AV cords. It should reset back to 480i, then go to the Settings and set it back to 480i

THANK YOU! I've been searching for this solution for quite a while. This worked perfectly in my situation, which is similar to the one in the original posting. I have an original Wii with a component-only cord. I used to plug it into an older flat-screen that had component inputs so I manually adjusted the output format to 480P to emjoy tue sharper image. However, since I've purchased newer tvs for my newer consoles, none have component inputs so I now just use the RCAs. Problem has been that I keep forgetting to order a Wii-to-HDMI cable and I didn't have any way to manually change the settings back to 480i.
Until now.

Your solution worked instantly. Thanks again.
