I bought a HDMI to RCA converter to use a Chromecast on my Sony Trinton 1992. However, when I plug it in the No Signal screen was only showing in black and white. It works in color on other televisions, but not this one. What can I do to fix this?
 
Does the cable convert to NTSC or PAL?
And is your TV NTSC or PAL??
I had this kind of problem with a PS1 that I got as a gift from the US (I live in Europe).
This does not tend to be a problem on a modern display because they can autodetect the standard and adjust the display accordingly.
