could you help fix my dvd player problem please

[iamlost_]

my dvd player is only displaying in black and white on my tv showing it in
sav 2 so i have to cycle round until i get to av 2 at which point it turns to colour
i'm using a Sony DVP-NS305 dvd player and a Hitachi C2156TN/C2556TN/C2856TN (one of those it has all of them on the manual cover)

Hey, I have the same TV, or something like it, and I have no idea what to do. Its not the dvd player its the tv I think.

does you tv do the same thing?

[Bassman]

Are you connecting with an RGB Scart lead and if so are your DVD and TV set for RGB?

Worth checking the settings on both. If the DVD has no mention of RGB then I would expect it to put out an RGB signal regardless. For some TV's you may need to set one of the scarts to be able to receive RGB. I have no idea if this is applicable to your TV but it would be worth checking.

How many Scart sockets does the TV have?

Hitachi C2156TN/C2556TN/C2856TN (one of those it has all of them on the manual cover)

C21 = 21"
C25 = 25"
C28 = 28"

Just to clear that bit up!

are you using a region1 or 2 disc, also when playing r1 titles does the dvd player output pure ntsc or convert it to 60hz pal? if it outputs pure ntsc then its your tv not being able to accept a pure ntsc signal.

managed to fix it myself by changing the default to AV and not SAV

[Mayhem]

Ah... composite is what it wanted, you were switched to S-video there mate...

so sav stands for svideo audio video in my niavity i thought it mean a saved av channel set for a certain device
