Tried switch between PAL and NTSC? But I guess it wont help, see https://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?p=1364076#1364076

Not all of these cables actually connect s-video to composite. All you are getting is the luma signal, hence non-colour.

thanx guys fro the replies, i tried changing the system from pal to ntsc but no use, any other suggestions !! i would really appreciate it ,thanx . ps what is a luma signal ?

composite mixes the colour and brightness (luma) into one signal. s-video separates them out. Component takes the separation even further. The cable you have used is only passing the brightness down the line, but no colour. It is only an s-video cable with an RCA head at one end, not a converter.
What you need is one of these : http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/svideo-rca.htmlRead my blog here.
