        No, you might have the wrong cable.   I needed to buy 2, one doesnt work at all. (Was a cheap one for apple devices), the second does work, however, i had to switch red (Audio Right) with yellow (Video) on my tv to get it running. At a second TV, I also need to use a Scart Adapter, otherwise the picture is only Black and White.

                      Finally, i just have to reinstall the OS, in noob you change the format of the TV, and install and work just fine. the config.txt put that on the bottom

                          <span style="color: #212121; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.5;">Yes, I did that , use the wiki you passed me . But I could not make it work . With a new installation, and run the NOOBS from the RCA , and it worked without problems</span>e

                            That's because you did not commented all hdmi lines in your config.txt : at the end : # NOOBS Auto-generated Settings: hdmi_force_hotplug=1 config_hdmi_boost=4
