RE: Pacific 750 Black & White all regions

I purchased one of those from Asda on Saturday, and I also initially only had a black/white picture. In my case.. all I did was to reverse my scart lead round. It should`nt really make any difference, but I then had colour.
So its possible my connections were not good or something..I`ve no idea.

I found this player to perform very well especially when you consider its low price and 3years warranty. However I was not too keen on the silver colour as all my TV/video stuff is black. Also I thought it was very plasticy, what made me choose it was for the MP3 option.

I noticed that Asda were also doing the Pacific-1000 (same price. 89-99) which I was more attracted to because of the colour (black) LOL and it seemed a little more robust (metal case)

As I later found out.. the 1000 also plays MP3`s so I returned it to Asda today and swapped it for the 1000 model. I think the 1000 however may be a slightly older model but unsure. At least it does`nt look out of place.

Have you got another scart you can try... I would definately try reversing the lead round... just in case.
At least.. you will have no trouble getting it swapped assuming its from Asda. It performs very well indeed, and there is already region-free and macrovision fixes available via the remote handset.

Hope you sort it out.
