Why is the picture black and white or or tinted one color?
You may have connected one of the component outputs (usually colored red, green, and blue) of your DVD player to the composite input of your TV. Connect yellow to yellow. See section 3.2 for hookup details. Also, if you’ve hooked up component video, check the three cables to make sure one of them hasn’t become disconnected or developed a short and that they are connected in the correct order. If you use an s-video connection, the chroma wire maybe broken — try a different cable or try the composite connection. If you live in a PAL country (most countries outside of the U.S., Canada, and Japan) you may be playing an NTSC disc in a PAL player, but your PAL TV can’t handle the signal. If your player has a switch or on-screen setting to select the output format for NTSC discs, choosing PAL (60 Hz) should solve the problem. See section 1.19 for more information.
