Dvd player split screen

By Shari on May 20, 2006

" "

When my dvd player is playing, the image is in blacka and white and the screen is a double image, or split screen, side by side. In other words, the picture displayed is 2 rather than one.

- My Polaroid is doing the same double-image thing. Images aren't good quality or even the entire transmitted image. Problem is isolated to the internal processor/tuner because the problem goes away when the DVR is turned off (i.e. raw signal goes from cable box, through unernergized DVR to tv). Tried all tv & DVR settings with no improvement. Recording a show ends up being split screen / double image. Esentially, my DVR is a glorified dvd player.- slom95

- Got a Technics DVD player and the same split screen problem with a line down the middle has started happening (possibly due to my child fiddling with the remote although it was turned off at the time). - Ms Fiamingo

I found this split screen problem after the kids were plying with the remote. Noting the model of sanyo I have is DX510. No amount of changing cords would fix it. Then changed the video settings on the remote. Pushed the V-mode button a few times and it was fixed.

Could be that some combination of the progressive scan and the line input is confusing your system. Sometimes the line doubler on the TV set causes this when recieving a 480p input. If this effect doesn't reproduce on another set, then there you have it.

Try turning progressive scan off, or change between the analog(yellow) video, the component(RGB), and the S video(fat one with pins).

Good luck

Sounds as if you have the DVD or TV turned to PAL and not NTSC Or the other way round depending on where you live.

US.....NTSC YUCK We call it "Never The Same Colour"
UK.....PAL Much better
Australia PAL The Best

BTW anytime I've had a system problem like with NTSC or pal, or secam. its alway just a color issue. now with the progressive scan as silly girl stated would cause muliple pictures. And dont be insulting our technology as if it wasent for us inventing the transistor at bell labs you folks would still be comunicating with smoke or sticks and watching the grass grow??lolHad to throw that in

split screen problem

Comment by TVTECH55, posted on Dec 12, 2007

I am having the same split screen black and white problem. I don't think anything simple will fix this. I have looked into the unit and almost all the video processing happens on one little PC board under the DVD. I think that the capacitors on the bottom of this board are at fault, as there have been MANY noted failures of Panasonic Professional DVC decks due to these type capacitors failing.
