Hi, just purchased a secondhand Telefunken DVD/VHS player. Video plays in colour while DVD plays in black and white. Tried player on a different tv and both DVD and VHS played in colour. So was wondering if you might know what the problem could be with my tv.
Before purchsing this machine, I had seperate DVD player and VHS player, DVD played in colour but Videos would only play in black and white
There is a circuit in the color section to put the tv to black and white if the color subcarrier is missing from the broadcast signal.
it is called a color killer and needs to be adjusted.
it is for a technician to do.
it operates off the 3.58mhz color subcarrier.
Possible cause: the incorrect TV and DVD broadcast formats.
NTSC and PAL are two of the world's major TV broadcast formats, but they vary depending on how often the system projects color images. NTSC is the abbreviation of National Television System Committee. Its standard is mainly used in Japan, the United States, Canada, Mexico, etc. PAL is the abbreviation of Phase Alternating Line, which is mainly used in China, Hong Kong, Middle East and Europe. These two systems are not compatible with each other. If you play NTSC on a PAL TV, the picture will turn black and white, as will the NTSC system.
