My OTIC DVD does not have a Pscan button on the back, and holding the Stop key for five seconds didn't work either, but pressing the V Mode button did work. Now it's perfect.
It was also playing in black and white, and hitting the PAL button fixed that. So, one happy camper here

Hi
I don't know if this will help, but it is one of the most common faults I see when a DVD player is brought in. The problem is that your DVD player is set for progressive scan output, and your tv is not capable of that input. I am not familiar with your model specifically, but there should be a F.A.Q. section in your manual and a procedure to to take it out of progressive scan mode. If that is what you found, and you followed the procedure, then there must be a glitch in the built-in program. If it is not a very old model, the place you purchased it, may be able to show you how to get it out of pscan mode, and probably not charge you.

Good Luck!

On your remote, there may be a button P-Scan, which you may have inadvertently pressed. So turn on the dvd, and press the button, it goes to normal mode.......just wonderful! I just realized this button was there........lol! Thanks everyone for trying to help.

Memorex MVD2042 - The only switch on the back of the unit had gotten bumped when something fell behind the unit, thus causing the same issue mentioned here. Looking at the front of the unit, the switch is straight back from the disc tray on the left. (of course, if you're looking at the back, it's on the right side) This switch is for "Progressive Scan" either "on" or "off"

Thanks,
Wizard_Yo

Press on the stop button for 5 seconds.
It will take you out of the pscan.

I just had the same problem and I looked in the back of my Memorex dvd player and there was actually a button where you can turn the progressive scan on or off.
