Connecting Wii to ProScan TV: Composite Only, Low Quality

You can connect a Wii to a ProScan TV, but only via composite (yellow/red/white) — resulting in poor quality.

Connection Reality

Wii Output	ProScan Input (Typical)	Result
Component (YPbPr) — 480p	Rare on ProScan (usually no component)	Best — but unlikely
S-Video — 480i	Rare	Good — but unlikely
Composite (Yellow RCA) — 480i	Standard on all ProScan	Works — blurry, color bleed, no progressive
RF (Coax) — Ch 3/4	Yes (antenna in)	Worst — noise, mono audio

Wii AV Cable (included) → Yellow (Video) + Red/White (Audio) → ProScan matching inputs.
TV Input → "Video 1" / "AV" / "Composite."
Wii Settings → Screen → 480i (force if auto-detect fails).
Wii Settings → Widescreen → On (if TV is 16:9) or Off (4:3).

Wii2HDMI Adapter ($15–25): Plugs into Wii AV port → HDMI out → modern TV. Line-doubles 480p to 720p/1080p. Requires Wii set to 480p (component mode) — but Wii2HDMI works from composite too (scales 480i). Best cheap upgrade.
Component Cable + HDMI Converter: Official Wii Component ($20) → Portta/Component-to-HDMI ($15) — true 480p → HDMI.
Upgrade TV: 1080p/4K TV with HDMI — $150+ for 32–43". Night-and-day difference.

ProScan TVs don't have AOSS (Buffalo router feature). Irrelevant to Wii connection.

Bottom line: Works on composite, looks bad. $15 Wii2HDMI fixes it acceptably. New TV fixes it properly.
