Also check that the settings are for 16x9 widescreen in the dvd player along with the component setting. |

Their signals should match. Another thing to check...your video cables. Remove them one at a time and see if the color changes on the screen. This will rule out the cables at fault. |

Gold Member Username: Joe_cAtlanta, GA USA Post Number: 1228 Registered: Mar-05 | No, Berny there would not be a picture if he unplugged the green (black/white ) cable out. That removes the slate for the red and blue to work off of. That's why the pic went black and white when he pulled out the red and blue. To me, and I am not familiar with the UK's system for HD, it sounds like the TV has a problem with either the HZ the picture is being displayed at, or the signal itself is not supported. Good luck and have a chat with someone who is knowledgeable in the UK about this stuff. Maybe salesman or tech shop. |
