This may be down to your TVs inability to convert an NTSC signal. Two workrounds :
(1) see if your player converts NTSC to PAL : if so, enable this option in your player set up menu, or see if there is a switch round the back to do it (check your manual)
(2) if your Alba can output RGB, and your TV`s SCART socket is RGB-compliant, set your player to do that : should override the B & W problem
