Page 1 of Aiwa 370..some VCD`s in B&W ...why?

Well I succumbed to a 370 and its true...it really ROCKS!!

The only problem is that soem of my VCD`s (which played OK on a friends DVD player) play in black & white! Can`t be region I know, but what else could it be? As soon as the offending discs are put in the machine, the little disc graphic spins and the screen goes black and white! It almost looks like its slightly off tune?? Help please anyone.

Are you using RGB SCART, or S-Video/Composite?

I had this problem using an NTSC VCD with Composite video output on a PAL only telly (as you`ve probably guessed, my new TV is on the way...) Anyway, the switch on the back of my unit was in the "Auto" position when I got the player, and so I moved it to PAL, power cycled the player, and since then everything has been cool. Be even better when my TV arrives!

Hope that helps you out.

AIWA 370 definitely ROCKS!!!

Yup, Sprky`s right.
Move the "NTSC/PAL/AUTO" switch to PAL vefore you power it up and it should cure your problem.

It did on mine, and I`ve got a crud telly too! lol
