So, when i connect the A/V cable to the Tv this is what it looks like, the TV its NTSC/ATSC and try like 100 ways to fixed without result , here is the config.txt
force_turbo=0 #Enable cpu-overclock over 1300MHz (default 0)
#avoid_pwm_pll=1 #Enable no-relative freq between cpu and gpu cores (default 0)

#arm_freq=1300 #Frequency of ARM processor core in MHz (default 1200)
#core_freq=550 #Frequency of GPU processor core in MHz (default 400)
#over_voltage=6 #ARM/GPU voltage adjust, values over 6 voids warranty (default 0)

#sdram_freq=575 #Frequency of SDRAM in MHz (default 450)
#sdram_schmoo=0x02000020 #Set SDRAM schmoo to get more than 500MHz freq (default unset)
#over_voltage_sdram_p=6 #SDRAM phy voltage adjust (default 0)
#over_voltage_sdram_i=4 #SDRAM I/O voltage adjust (default 0)
#over_voltage_sdram_c=4 #SDRAM controller voltage adjust (default 0)

gpu_mem=256 #GPU memory in MB. Memory split between ARM and GPU (default 64?)
#gpu_freq=550 #Sets core_freq h264_freq isp_freq v3d_freq together (default 300)
#v3d_freq=500 #Frequency of 3D block in MHz (default ?)
#h264_freq=350 #Frequency of hardware video block in MHz (default ?)

#dtparam=sd_overclock=75 #Clock in MHz to use for MMC micrSD (default 50)
dtparam=audio=on #Enables the onboard ALSA audio (always use this ON)
dtparam=spi=on #Enables the SPI interfaces (default OFF)

temp_limit=80 #Overheat protection. Disable overclock if SoC reaches this temp
initial_turbo=60 #Enables turbo mode from boot for the given value in seconds

hdmi_drive=2 #Normal HDMI mode. Sound will be sent if supported and enabled (default 2)
#hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1 #Avoids bringing TV out of standby and channel switch when booting (default 0)
#hdmi_ignore_cec=1 #Pretends CEC is not supported. No CEC functions will be supported (default 0)
#hdmi_force_hotplug=1 #uncomment for composite PAL (default 0)#sdtv_mode=2 #Pretends HDMI hotplug signal is asserted (default 0)

start_x=1 #Enable software decoding (MPEG-2, VC-1, VP6, VP8, Theora, etc. default 0)
overscan_scale=1 #Video Output will respect the overscan settings (default 1)
disable_overscan=1 #Disable overscan configuration. Set 1 if you see black lines on TV (default 0)
disable_splash=1 #Avoids the rainbow splash screen on boot (default 0)
#avoid_warnings=1 #Disable warning squares (Red=over-temperature ; Rainbow=under-voltage). (default 0)

gpu_mem_256=128
gpu_mem_512=256
gpu_mem_1024=256

How you connect the Pi3 with the CRT? With a HDMI > composite cable?
I don't know much about this, but i think there are better solutions with native 15khz support.
Something like that?

Nope , the devices is conected to the Tv with a 3.5mm to A/V cable https://www.amazon.com/Parts-Express-3-5mm-Plug-Cable/dp/B0007V6JCK

@Kecha red is probably video and yellow is right channel audio. Most of these cables have those two backwards.

Kecha

@edmaul69 tryed every possible configuration, and yes, is the red one, but this is something with the config.txt that I cant get, not the cables, im using the system of "aikoncwd-rpi-mediacenter" but this problem happens even with NOOBS

edmaul69

@Kecha have you tried just using the retropie image thats available on this site instead of noobs and the other one i never heard of? Also make sure you dont have an hdmi cable plugged in

Kecha

@edmaul69 tried with raspbian , noobs, this one mentionet, kodi, retropie, etc and nothing

edmaul69

@Kecha if you use the retropie image on here and posted the config.txt i could help you. Im not familiar with other images.

@Kecha I ran into a similar issue. I ordered a cheap cable off of Amazon like you did (it might be the same one), and I tried everything, only to find out that the cable was bad. I ended up ordering this one and it worked like a charm.

@Sturo i use an xbox 360 e slim cable. Both are made by microsoft. Both are good quality. Far better than those cheap cables.

Sturo

@edmaul69 Yeah about the only good thing to come from the Zune was the A/V cable. That thing is pretty solid, and the colors match up, yellow is video, white and red are sound.

edmaul69

@Sturo same with the xbox 360 e slim cable. Correct colors. I owned a zune. The original Green one. I had the cable for it too. I had repaired a couple for a friend of mine. As far as ipods and zunes at that time i preferred the zune. The iphone and ipod touch changed what i use though. I am an iphone guy now.

Kecha

@Sturo UNBELIEVABLE !!!! Go for a new quality cable and problem solve, gotta say I love U Bro thank you so much

Sturo

@Kecha Glad it worked out! Have fun!
