Check your remote for a button that says, Progressive Scan, or PSCAN. Push it and then play your movie. Should work. Worked for ours. Good luck.

All of a sudden our dvd player is just playing in black and white. the picture is clear, we have tried different cords during connection. We are at a loss!

Im trying to figure out why it will only play movies in black and white now as well. Should I junk it?

Comment by Guest, posted on Oct 06, 2008

It only plays black and white.
I'm no tech guy so I'm going to replace it.

We bought our dora tv/dvd for christmas for my girls. It started out working fine. Then it started getting all crazy with the colors. First it would be fine, then it would have faint color on the upper and lower thirds of the screen and the middle would be purple or green. Then it would start flashing like a colored strobe light. Now it barely has any color and if I try and adjust the color all the way up it stays the same. I think it has something to do with a chip in the dvd player itself. My girls have a game console and it works fine in either one of the AV slots. Also I have hooked it up to cable and it works fine also. I just wish Emerson would fix this problem, because you know they know it exists.

My Disney Princess 13" TV/DVD combo doesn't have any color when playing a DVD. When we first go it sometimes it would have color and sometimes it wouldn't. Now there is no color.
