PROTRON - PD-007

Check all the connections on the back of player and tv.
does not sound to hopeful.
have you tried another player on the tv and what is the result ?

well a dvd player is only going to playback the media it is reading. So if the dvd is a reproduction of a b/w western then b/w is correct but if you play a dvd from the present then it should be in color unless the tv it is connected to is faulty. Try connecting to another tv to see if problem repeats on another tv

it does not support pictures

try checking the menu for tv types like RGB, VGA etc in your DVD menu.

there are so many reasons to that legend,dirty laser lens,capacitor dried on the electric feed board,flat connector between the laser lens and the board,bad motor spin disc.good luck

are all your connections correct, (is tv on ch 3) dvd output to tv (coaxial or digital in) using tv remote make sure the source is air (or cable/sat ).. put dvd into player press play let load a picture should show (unless you are connecting with RCA wires then the tv would be on ch "video" this would be below ch 2

I finally, after several months of just giving up, figured out how to get my Protron 007 DVD player to work. I hope this works for you. I have a Sanyo TV with the video controls on the front. Here are the instructions that worked for me.
1. Turn on TV
2. switch TV to video
3. Wait for "Protron" screen (Try the PSCAN button it doesn't show.)
4. Press setup and a menu will appear with 4 icons: Language, TV, a Hammer, and an Exit icon.
5. The only two icons I needed to use were TV and the Hammer.
6. TV icon: 4 choices: a) TV TYPE = choose 4.3 LB (mine was not set there); b) TV SYSTEM = NTSC; c) VIDEO = CBBS + S - video; d) DIGITAL OUT = SPDIF/RAW.
7. HAMMER icon: 4 choices: a) PARENTAL - 8; b) PASSWORD - I didn't choose one; c) ANGLE MARK: ON; d) DEFAULT: Read.
Suggestion: If that doesn't work trying playing around with the settings to see if you can get the right combination.
I hope I made your day. I know how frustrating this can be.

make sure you connected your plugs to the video you have on your tv( video1, video 2) unless you have to have it on ch 3 or 4

On the remote control of the DVD player, just press the P-scan, reset or video SW button.. That would fix it... If you have screen kumping problem then please try this following steps... Press the setup Down arrow once Enter Down arrow 1 time Enter Up arrow 1 Enter Set up
