I have a GPX DVD that worked fine until I attempted to connect it to my new LG 55 inch TV. Trying to utilize the S-Video method and there seems to be no way to get this thing properly tuned. Have a picture, (black & white), no sound. Having trouble interpreting setup. Help! Need detailed instructions.I have a GPX DVD that worked fine until I attempted to connect it to my new LG 55 inch TV.

I have the same problem, and I am really disappointed in the product. I am a mommy, who knows absolutely nothing about electronics. I hope this solution works, needless to say though I will be waiting for my husband to disassemble it- before I make the product even more screwed up! Thank you for your suggestion, and I will let you know if it works!

Probably the laser lens needs cleaning.
Purchase a laser lens cleaner disc at Radio Shack ($13). No chemicals are involved.
Read & follow the instructions. It cannot harm the player if not done right.
I heve worked with so many DVD players including playstation2 a while back. Almost all the time this problem is caused by a bad laser diode assembly. You can order one for your particular model, but they are not easy to replace, even for an electronic guy like me. A mechanical talent is a must.
Either the lens is dirty or the optica are starting to fail. If you can gain acces to the optical assembly, try cleaning the lens carefully using a cotton swab and alcohol. If that fails to resolve the problem and you are able to read CDs but not DVDs, the optics are failing and need to be replaced.
A cable could cause this problem. I would try using a standard RCA patch cable and go from the composite video output of the DVD player to a composite video input of the TV. See if that produces color. If not, the DVD may be at fault. On the other hand, if you get normal color, the S-video cable could be bad.
took out the dvd player and inverted it and pushed the advance disk button . There was a disk stuck between the disk slots. The door opened and I removed the disk.
1.- TURN ON THE DVD PLAYER 2.- PRESS OPEN/CLOSE 3.- PRESS THE FOLOWING NUMBERS 8888 4.- PRESS ENTER UNTIL SHOW "Region code: 9" (Region Free) 5.- PRESS OPEN/CLOSE
OR
1-Turn on your DVD player. 2-Open the tray. 3-Press 9 five times, you will see a number (for me it was 6, you'll see it on the screen, where the DVD displays all messages, like a blue bar up top) then I pressed 9 a few more time until the number being displayed there turned to a 9, when it does then press enter, now it's region free.
