| 1250594 | 2011-12-25 02:32:00 | Just when I get a load of DVDs for Christmas a problem crops up. I get a b&W pic..... no colour. I've checked them on my laptop...OK. I've used a cleaning disc in my player...prob. remains. I've checked the settings....everything seems normal. Anyone got any suggestions? |

| 1250595 | 2011-12-25 03:21:00 | Are they Local or imported DVD's? If they are overseas NTSC ones such as from America the TV has to support NTSC to display them in colour, NZ region 4 uses the PAL colour system, USA region 1 uses NTSC and tends to come out black and white if sent to a PAL TV. Most newer TVs are multi format capable, some may need to be manually set for PAL / NTSC. I don't know if this is the problem, but it's one possibility. Dirty disks don't go black and white but thanks for the chuckle. :) |

| 1250597 | 2011-12-25 03:45:00 | Good point, a bad cable connection could also be it. Particularly component I think it might be the one that uses one cable for the colour information (straining to remember cables are something like, Luminence, Chrominence, somethingelsinence) | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1250598 | 2011-12-25 04:42:00 | Sorted, it was a video cable connection. Thanks guys. |
