    Same problem, but was fine until added Wii. Wii color is fine, but not DVDs, which are in black and white.  Don't see any place to change the region using set up.  Thanks

    did you fix it? I have exactly the same after adding a Wii - thouigh the Wii doesnot go near the Bose unit - I have straight to the tele! B& W DVDs are only OK for so long!

Bad connection? Unplug the sub to see if it has anything to do with the surround or coil on the sub speaker. Connect the cubes separately to test.

Cable damage is the first thing to check. If the cable is external this is an easy check by trying a new one. Otherwise it is probably internal cable damage or damage to the video output plug.

Unable 2 watch dishtv in Benq LCD SD3731 with DVD cbl plugged in
The S_Video connection has precedence (most likely named AV1) over the RCA/composite one (better image quality - usually named AV2) so it will be automatically selected. If you want to view thru AV2 input you will have to select it manually every time you want it.

Picture only shows in black & white when playing DVD
Same problem with an older JVC player. One end of the S-video cable was loose. Pushed in in tight and everything ok again. Cheap fix if it works for you.
