The tape was playing in color but then it went black and white. The tuner still puts out color, only the tape plays back B&W.
Normally this would be a tracking error, if you can manually adjust the tracking, this should fix the prob...if there is no way to manually adj the tracking, use a video head cleaner to see if cleaning the heads will help the auto track to function better.

Are you using red white and yellow composite cables from the VCR to the tv or component cables (red, blue and green?). If its the component, check to make sure the blue and green aren't reversed. I've had them switched before cause I had poor lighting when hooking up, and it gave me a B&W picture
