Wii: Problems with 480p

Anyone else run into problems using the component cables and trying to run 480p? My TV supports 480p, I am using the Nintendo component cables, and when I select 480p in the Wii settings and exit to the menu the screen goes black and I get a "No signal" message from my tv. Every 10 seconds or so the wii menu pops up and disappears again. Problem is fixed by switching back to 480i.

Is it on AV:1? Hit the AV button on the remote and go down and select AV:1

Let me know.

you're sure the cables are connected into the component jacks on the tv?

Even though your TV supports 480p that doesn't mean the input you are using supports it. My Samsung DLP (720p native) has a couple component inputs that *only* support 480p or higher (480i does not work), and a couple that *only* support 480i. Hook up a 480p or higher to the 480i input and you see "No Signal." Same goes for hooking up a 480i to the 480p+ inputs.

Double check that your TV does not have similar restrictions on the input you are attempting to use. Switch to a different input if so.
