Page 1 of can anyone help with my TV problem. it wont play my region1 dvds

ive got a schneider dvd 811 from asda and i got the region hack for it to make it multi region but i discovered that when i play region 1 dvds back thru my tv they are black and white?? its connected via scart direct to my tv. all region 2 dvds work fine, is it a fault with my player?? it seems to work fine on my mates tv but not on mine.

any hep would be much apreciated. thanx dunc

Dunc,

it sounds as if your television is an older model and does not accept NTSC signal that`s why it`s in black and white. Your mate`s tv is probably newer and or accept the NTSC signal.

If the Schenider lets you and you have a compatible SCART socket on your telly, change the SCART output signal on the player to RGB - that will override any NTSC or PAL issues.

If that doesn`t work, can you set the output of the Schneider to be PAL rather than AUTO? Some DVD players have this feature, which means that they convert the NTSC to PAL to make your TV happy.
