My unit will only play movies as black and white. Even the Sony intro page is black and white. The surround sound package was installed at my parent's house and tonight was the first time we tried to watch a movie using the DVD. The VCR unit plays movies in color.

"Cannot play disk" upon inserting any disk; player seeks to no avail. This happens on all disks. Took the player apart, felt the motor. Feels like it's got a bad bearing, and when I started the disk up with my finger, it buzzed like bad bearings do, and stopped playing at different intervals because it just couldn't keep it up. This player is maybe 6 or 7 years old. I'm honestly disappointed that modern electronics don't last longer than this. I've got cd players from the early '80s that still work fine.

After working great for years, my dvd player suddenly won't turn on. When I press power, the player emits a short "ehhnnnn!" sounding buzz/beep, and the light switches back quickly from green to red. It won't turn on, the dvd won't eject, etc. So far I've tried replacing the fuse, but now I'm all out of ideas and could use some help. Thanks!
