Question about Toshiba SD-K741 DVD Player

Picture keeps trying to black out

I have a Toshiba DVD player (SD-K740SU) which recently starting to lose the picture. keeps trying to fade to completely black, then recovers to viewable picture .. then fades back out ... this keeps repeating. i checked to see if it was anything I could adjust but no settings or such exist on the unit or through the remote. Does anybody know if this video problem is repairable, perhaps a maintence issue or is the unit fried ?

Hi I have seen this problem before, and it was the video processor. I have seen the picture fade to black, then come back, and also fade to green. The cost to repair is prohibitive unless you could find a shop that perhaps has hung on to a unit that was hit by lightning, and only has a blown power supply. The only ray of sunshine I could offer, is if you recently connected your unit to a vcr, because the effect you describe is also what appears when you try to play a dvd that is copy guarded. If your DVD player is connected to a vcr then to the television, take the VCR out of the loop, connect straight to t.v. and all will be well. Goog Luck!

We have reconnected our DVD to our new flatscreen and can see the picture, hear the sound but the picture is only black and white

This sounds like either the colour settings on the DVD are wrong for your new TV, or the TV has got the wrong setting for the socket that the DVD is connected to.
Go to the menu of the DVD first and look for picture settings etc. Or colour, keep your eyes peeled for the words PAL or NTSC.

No valid DVD displays on my Toshiba SD-P1850

Most portable dvd players will not read burned dvd/cds. Please be sure to use originals in your dvd player. If you have a user's manual it should tell you if your player reads CDR's or DVD/RWs

DVD PLAYER MODEL, SD-K740SU

Hi,

For a Toshiba SDK740SU, to remove a stuck disc:
1. Remove the top and front cabinet cover;
2. once exposed, slide/move the Rack Loading (white) towards the right with a sturdy instrument such as a common screwdriver;
3. draw the tray out
Please refer to image below:
fd91076.jpg
The only possible easy user workable reset is to unplug the unit for quite some time.

Should the above be not corrective, pls post back whether you have the 740SU or the 740SUA version.

Hope this be of some help/idea. Pls post back as requested, how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kindest regards.

Some DVDs fade in and out

If you have it hooked up through your VCR this will happen. Try hooking it directly to your TV.

DVD plays with sound but no picture

Have you checked the unit on another input or another set to eleminate the video input? also try the video cable. If theres sound and no video and you tryed then the video output amp in the player has a problem and the only way to fix this would be with a schematic and a scope to trace out the video signal. Good luck
