[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] A520 problem with the 3000

spworley@athena.mit.edu (Spaceman Spiff) (10/15/90)

I can't get the Commodore A520 encoder/RF Modulator to work well with my
A3000. The output (either video out or RF out) shows up sharply and noise
free, but IN BLACK AND WHITE!!! This very same A520 gave beautiful 
color on my first A3000 (which I returned because of a bad bootstrap ROM)
but doesn't seem to like my new A3000. An old AmigaWorld article  I read
talked about the voltage levels of different Amiga model RGB outs (it
was talking about how they screwed up genlocks). Could this be it? How
can I fix it? One of the prime reasons I use my 3000 is for video backgrounds...
I could buy a cheap genlock, but I'm saving for a 3000 Toaster.... :-)

Any suggestions or help! Please E-mail! 

             Thanks!
