Black & White output from VCR no matter SCART cable

Daniel Knutsson New member Username: Dkny Post Number: 1 Registered: Dec-08	Posted on Thursday, December 25, 2008 - 12:41 GMT Hi! I have a Panasonic NVHV 61 VCR which is about 2 years old. No problems before. The VCR records in black and white and also shows already recorded (ok video tapes from earlier recordings) videos as black and white on the TV. Even when using the VCR's menu on the TV screen, it's in black and white. I've tried with 2 different SCART cables without any difference. Please help, I really have no idea what to do! Thanks in advance! /D

If the settings are backwards, it will give a B&W picture or no picture at all.
