DVD Plays in Black and White

PHILIPS MX3660D

my cable works fine...but when i plug my dvd player in (via monster cable, video out to input 1 on my tv), it's scrambled. first it was black and white, then i messed around with it a bit, and now it's color but scrambled.

tv is a 32 inch sanyo

any suggestions?

Depending what cables you have, try plugging only the yellow cable into "video out", I previously had red, white, and yellow cables plugged into "comopents out" and only got black and white. Doing only the yellow into video out gave me color.

I had a same problem. My manual was lost and I was lost with my problem. But then I discovered a switch on the back panel of the dvd player. I think I had accidentallly switched it to RGB/Composite-mode and I switched it back into Component/Composite-mode.

And the colors came back ooohhh so brilliant.

I have my dvd connected to tv via scart cable.

So I think that your problem could lie there: on the back panel of your dvd player.

I had the exact same thing after moving. I found out that it still played some movies with color, and the ones that were b&w I could play if I used another output. With mine it was the analog that got screwed, but the RGB still worked well. It could be that your S video has gone b&w but RGB/analog will still show color.

Check it out and post back.

Good luck
