Color fading to black and red "nightvision" picture (by 2 users)

Comment by wooders2, posted on Apr 07, 2008

I have a similar problem with a Pioneer PDP43 plasma TV screen. when connecting via HDMI to DVD player, the picture quality is fine - but when using the input 1 or input 3 RGB component input, the picture is fine for 5-10 seconds before fading to black and cutting out. After a few minutes the picture starts to return slowly but always remains black and white. if I change inputs and change back the picture returns to normal for another 5-10 secs before repeating the cycle. I have tried RGB inputs in both input 1 and input 3 , and tried different sources of RGB input (set-top sattelite / playstation 2) with exactly the same results. any help appreciated!
