just bought a modec dvd problem plays some films in black and white, can any one help

Are they a region other then Region 1 or *ahem* backups? :D

If so, it may be that your TV and/or DVD player isn`t compatible with NTSC. If you know someone who can play these films, try plugging your DVD into their TV and see if that works.

Yeah this will definitely be an NTSC issue. If you have discs from the US, canada or Japan they`ll be NTSC color system (we use PAL). You might be able to change the output in the video setup on the player, or if you;re using SCART your TV might do the conversion for you.

Reply if you;re still having problems

on the dvd player (using the remote) set tv-system to pal, not auto or ntsc. this should solve it
