New lcd tv and dvd player is playing movies in black & white

Check the format of video burned to disc. Might me no compactable.

my dvd player only plays movies back in black and white...not color. why?

Make sure you have the cables hook up right. If you are running component mode it takes three for video blue red and white ends. If you are running composite it takes red, white, and yellow.

it has something to do with your TV's video system and your player's video system...they should match...that is,PAL-PAL,NTSC-NTSC and etc..or if your tv has a multisystem then just set it to AUTO..

unit is in a progresive mode. need to turn back to interlaced.

if this is only happening on your dvd player, then change the type of cable used to link the tv with the dvd player, if that does not fix it then try another dvd player to make sure it's not the player itself

the problem sounds like its with the s video connection, try using the composite video input

replace the IC of your player which is connected to video output.

replace the bigger IC of the module

had this problem when I start using it with "component" video cables on a new digital wide screen TV. I fixed it through the DVD player's setup menu, by changing the "video output" setting. On my Samsung player there are 3 options: S-video, 525i and 525p. It was set to S-video, and by changing it to any of the other two settings the problem was solved.
