-   I have identical problem and am pulling my hair out to solve it. We just got satellite so everything is new and had to be reconfigured. I get either black & white or if I play with switching cords around I get Blue. My dvd is Cinevision and we have a Samsung TV.
I did finally unhook dvd and take in bedroom just to make sure all is ok with player. Got same thing at first but by some miracle I got it to work with our old Tv.

I have to turn off satellite but right now I have the Dvd hooked up with the Red,White, and Yellow cables on back of Dvd player in the top position, and then just the Red and Yellow into the back of my stand up Modular (red=audio L and Yellow=Video/skipping the white cord). (My dvd has no cable jack on back you only have options of the 3 cords or S video).
It is working perfectly fine although I have to switch back my red/white/yellow cables from my satelite to modular to watch TV again. This is all such a pain for someone who is electronically challenged like me.
Anyway - if I happen by chance to be able to convert what I did to my Samsung in the Liv. Room. I will (first jump for joy) then share what I did with ya. In the meantime if you figure it out first, please let me know as well.

I am going to see if somehow I can transfer this back to our Liv. Room with same effect.-   cook8108
