What causes colored stripes when playing commercial DVDs

Color is fine when watching regular TV but when we play some (not all) rented DVDs we get horizontal stripes that distort the overall color in the picture (stripes aren't certain colors but tend to make those strips more pink or more green). What causes this -- the TV, the DVD, or something else? How do we correct the problem? Thanks very much!

Check your cables first to see if they are causing it. Faulty cables can cause all sorts of problems. If that doesn't solve it it could either be that the colour settings are wrong, for example NTSC instead of PAL or vice versa. Sometimes it is something to do with copy protection. In some cases counterfeit discs, or faulty discs. And in some cases a fault on the DVD player.

This set does have a video problem. If it was bought locally, then, the retailer may have a 30 day return policy. If bought online or cannot be returned, then, contact Sony, for a service center in your location: http://eservice.sony.com/webrma/web/index.do Either way the set is to new to have a problem and you should get it resolved as soon as possible.

Why GE TV plays color DVD/VCR tapes in black and white

Some inputs on tvs won't process the color signal. Try one of the other inputs. Mine does the same. If u have already used the working ones on something else, U will need a switch to select one or the other available at Radio Shack if u can find one.

If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gary_9c859f4aa7e5ab10

Bring it back to the place of purchase since the item is under warranty, this is a manufacture defect and you are in your perfect right to have a replacement.

Color Issues

this sounds like a connection problem. are the scart or av leads ok whatever you are using ? if so then the most likely cause is the signal interface inside the tv. try connecting with a different connection system
