I have just moved house and having reconnected my TV, Wharfedale 750 (first model I think) and amp it now plays the Region 1 discs in black and white.
When the DVD boots up it is in colour, I insert the disc, it shows it is going to play in PAL ((I cannot remember whether they used to be NTSC or not) and then starts playing in B&W.
I am going to try reentering the region code hack tonight, does anybody have any other ideas of what to try.
TIA
