This depends on what output software you`re using. I used to use a Hollywood+ decoder card and the software (Station) has an option for TV output to be PAL or NTSC. You`re outputing in NTSC to a PAL TV which = B&W ... have a look through the video options for the software/hardware you`re using for DVD playback.

Or you are mixing up your Svideo with normal scart / composite - make sure that if you are using Svideo that your TV is set to that mode and if your are outputing composite that the TV is not expecting svideo

region 1 discs will still output as NTSC and I dont think the Pana TV does multistandard? does it hence in theory only region 2 discs should play colour

Some graphics cards with PAL output only support PAL 60.

UK is PAL 50


A PAL 60 signal fed to a UK TV that does not support PAL 60 will result in a Black & White picture
