Play dvd has no color

The heavier paint is keeping the dvd from spinning at it's optimal speed. Not much you can do about it except get a new player that can handle it.

Could be because it is set to NTSC. Needs to be set to Pal.

Uh oh, time for a shop visit as the chroma processor is not working properly....accordianman

are you using the correct colour output? change it and see if it works....go to set up, video or display, and look for the colour output option...check that, and if that dont work, try changing ntsc or pal....it wrkd for me

Hey, I had this problem on Thanksgiving Day, trying to watch a dvd on my mother's HDTV. You should be able to hook up most standard dvd players to hdtvs. First you have 3 cords, mine were red, yellow, and white. The connections go as follows:

HDTV:
Audio| Component. The white cord should be in a white audio slot. The yellow cord should be in a yellow component slot (video) and the red cord should be in a red video component slot labeled Pr/Cr. Make sure you match the component numbers. For instance, if you want to use component one, then hook all of the cords into the slots for component one. Most hdtvs have multiple component hookups ( think multiple "channels" for your game system, dvd player, etc) so it's important that the corresponding cords go to the correct component slots.

DVD:
Match the yellow and white cords to the appropriately colored slots. The red cord should go into the slot labeled component video out Cr/Pr. Not the red audio out. This worked for me. Hope this helps.

I don't know are you familiar with electronic,if you are you can fix it by yourself.The problem is in video process board,the one in metal cage.What you need to do is to remove the board from the set,remove the cage, then to replace all SMD capacitors!!!And do not put SMD as replacement put the normal capacitors same values they can be fited.You should aslo replace capacitors at the PSU and check 170V,160V and 70V and adjust them after the replacement.PSU is easy part but the video board is tricky one but it can be done

turn off you dvd player... them click on "setup" button on your remote control! them click right botton to appear "tv sys" them click "enter"... choose your tv system, PAL or NTSC.

could be loose or damaged SVideo cable or cable getting interferance from other equipment. try moving cable around and see if color comes back.

It sounds like the circuitry which actuates the color drives for the screen are not working, this would ba analogous to adjusting for a B&W picture on a color TV you have color but the screen shows black and white. I would get a schematic for this set and measure the voltages on the color processor that connects to the screen since you know that the external jack has color. If possible I can help you troubleshoot this, if you need me to help out.
