When I play a DVD all the colors will shift to dark reddish for a second or two, then back to normal, then to dark red, etc., cycling like this throughout the movie. The AMW S99 is about 2 years old.
I had to look up scart leads, turns out they are more common in the UK; none of the leads from the player look like that. We actually feed the dvd into the VCR, and that to the TV. I assume the player's board is going and I will have to stop using it.I had to look up scart leads, turns out they are more common in the UK; none of the leads from the player look like that.

This could be a symptom of a board error, but before you get too close to the bin, check the cable connections. If you are using scart leads, they can sometimes come adrift at one end or other through thermal expansion and contraction. Make sure they are secured fully.
You could also try changing the connection point on the TV if you have a spare, just to prove the input channel is OK.

well first check transmitton fluid when the trans is at normal operating temps if that is normal look at the color of the fluid it should be bright reddish color then if it is brownish or any other color than bright reddish or smells burnt you have an internal trans problem.
now if the color is reddish and does not smell burn there are numerous other things that can cause that such as clogged trans filter , shift linkage is loose or needs ajustment , or faulty shift sensors , or trans speed sensor that tells when to shift
Sounds like the transmission is slipping. You may have to replace soon. May just need fluid though , check your fluid level and make sure it is not a dark brown color. Should be reddish. If dark color have the fluid change, any of these can contribute to it.
When passing the video signal thru a VCR on the way to the TV, you are activating the DVD's "Macrovision" copy protection. You need to hook it directly to the TV.
Are you using the component inputs from the DVD player (blue, green, red)? HDMI? If using the component cable, it sounds like one is in the wrong slot. If using HDMI, try looking at the setup in the DVD menu to make sure it is using the correct output. I had a samsung DVD player that kept trying to use the component output even though I told it to use the HDMI and my picture looked red. Let me know.
Your light engine will need to be replaced as you have a LCD panel failure. Here is the link to the part number for the model 50V500 if you have the 50V500A it has a different part number. http://www.partstore.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductSKU=8286849&ProductType=PART&ModelID=374014
Although normal room lights (tungsten lights) appear white to our eyes, their light is actually much "warmer" than daylight, giving a reddish or orange color to pictures. This happens with digital and film cameras. To prevent or lessen this reddish or orange color:
If your digital camera has a selectable White Balance mode (check your camera's User's Guide) and you are not using the camera or external flash, set the White Balance mode for "Tungsten" light.
If your pictures are reddish even when you use the camera flash or external flash, the room lighting is overpowering the flash. Try setting the White Balance mode for "Tungsten" and continue to use the flash.
If your camera does not have a selectable White Balance mode, use the camera flash or external flash when taking pictures in lighting that makes your pictures turn out reddish or orange.
If you can, turn down or turn off one of the room lights (without making the room too dark), or move your subject so that it is not being hit directly by the room lights.
If you can, when taking pictures in the daytime, try opening any drapes that might be covering windows. Letting in natural daylight improves the color quality of the lighting.
