Color fading in and out with some DVDs

I recently purchased a DVD player (Phillips), and the color fades in and out, light to dark while I play certain DVDs. It doesn't do this on all DVD's. What's going on here? And how do I fix it?

Just bought a DVD player with surround sound (RCA). Color fades in and out, going from normal to dark. Only happens with certain movies. Help?

This is the same problem I have and I am using an RF Modulator. It seems that DVD's of television shows I played show fine, but DVD's of movies have this light to dark repeated movement.

the most likely cause is the coolant needs to be replaced in the CRTs. Very common problem. You can get the Phillips CRT coolant kit at the following link which contains the coolant and step by step instructions. Its listed under the repair kit category.
