I think, the problem with the AV cord( connecting wire between TV and (DVD).
Try reconnecting the cord ie. Video out from the DVD to the Video In of TV, Audio Out (Left and Right) from the DVD to the Audio In ports of the TV.
If still not working, try with new AV cord or try with other pins of the same Cord (I mean... try connecting one by one among the all 3/2 individual cables in the AV Cord to the TV without connecting Audio to find out faulty or Cut cable..)

My DVD is playing my videos in black and white .. It's a Panasonic tv model is tc-L32c5

follow the steps. God bless you
Insert a DVD lens-cleaning disc into your player and press "Play" to clean the DVD laser, eliminating picture problems due to read errors. Do not use a CD cleaning disc as the brushes on these discs can damage your laser.

  • 2 Wipe your DVDs clean of all visible marks and dirt using a lint-free cleaning cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol or glass cleaner. This further fixes read errors which can damage the quality of picture and sound.


  • 3 Disconnect your DVD player from the TV or receiver you have it connected to. Reconnect the DVD player directly to the "AV" or "Video In" port of your television, firmly pushing the plug into place, to eliminate possible noise from the receiver and ensure a clean connection.
  • 4 Connect your DVD player using an S-Video, component video or HDMI cable. Standard yellow/red/white RCA connectors cannot carry the high-quality signal that DVD discs are capable of transmitting, and will display a particularly poor picture on flat-screen high definition televisions. Use an HDMI cable, if your television and player support it, or a red/blue/green component video cable.
  • 5 Press "Setup" on your DVD remote and enter "Picture Settings." Make sure your DVD player is set to display images in the correct screen format ("Widescreen" or "16 x 9" for HDTV sets, "Standard" or "4 x 3" for older square sets) and scan mode. If you are using a DVD player that supports "Progressive Scan" on an HDTV or flat-screen set, activate this setting; for older sets, choose "Interlace" if given a choice.

    DVD JUST LOADS WON'T PLAY

    Try cleaning the lens of your DVD player either by a lens cleaning CD or remove the dvd cover and clean the lens using a soft cotton bud dipped in Shaving lotion or Lens cleaning liquid.

    WHY MY PORTABLE DVD WON'T PLAY

    It won't play for one of two reasons:
    1. There is something inside the DVD player, which keeps it from playing.
    2. The DVD player's battery has run out of juice and can no longer play, meaning the player needs to be replaced.

    No matter what DVD I load in the player, it won't play the DVD. It says "Cannot play this disk". What's the problem?

    The first thing to try is to clean the laser itself by using a cleaning disc. If that fails then most likely the pickup laser is no longer any good. This is usually obvious if you place an audio CD in the unit and it plays fine : )

    My portable dvd player will not read any dvds

    • I would give it a good cleaning with a disk player cleaning. Those disks have little bristles on them that "sweep" the lens and clean it real well. Remember that if the lens is so dirty that it won't play any DVD you may need to run that cleaner disk a few times to get the lens back to normal working condition.
    • A lens cleaner disk should be ran one time a week to avoid problems with playing disks be it CD or DVD or Computer.
    • Sometimes players go bad so keep in mind this could be the problem as well but I have had the DVD player in my garage get so dirty I had to clean it a few times to get it to work normal.
    • Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa.
    Regards, Tony

    the chances are the laser is bust try cleaning it with cd cleaner disc and liquid if it does not work laser is done buy another dvd player much cheaper than replacing the laser unit

    Does this player play dvd rw on it

    Hi there,

    Sorry but without knowing the particular model number of your Sylvania machine I can't give you a definative answer as I can't check it's specifications. A quick look down a list general Sylvania dvd players shows that most of them are listed as being able to. The format that Sylvania players lists are dvd - r/rw there is no mention of them using the + format.

    Hope this helps,

    James

    Skips or won't play disc if even slightly scratched

    Hello opie440,

    The optics might be dirty or the pickup assembly might need alignment. In the former case you can get an optics cleaning kit and try to clean the laser LED and pickup assembly. For the latter cause you will need to have thre unit aligned at a TV repair shop.
