Chicklet got a new DVD/CD player for Christmas. In the beginning everything was in color, now only black and white. Any ideas?

Our DVD player upstairs does that - I assumed it was because the player was old and worn out or something. But if she just got it for Christmas, it shouldn't be doing that already.

Check your setup options, on my DVD player I can select black and white only.

Are you using S-Video, RCA (red, white, yellow), or component video connection?

Yep and then I break out that blue, red and green piece of plastic and place in front of the tube and have the old simulated color.

It's an Audiovox and portable.

I must confess that I have not read the directions because I am one of those types that can't follow directions and have to be shown how to do things. :ohwell:

It's not a TV. It is a portable that has a battery pack and can be plugged into the wall.

It is an Audiovox D170PK Portable 7'' LCD monitor and DVD player.

:bonk: Santa brought it just this Christmas.

She is still watching it. As of a few minutes ago, chick was laying on the floor with the headphones on siging the Annie song as loud as she could. That's because she couldn't hear herself, but boy, could I! :lmao:

Do you know if the Video Quality setup was changed? I think the "Hue" and "saturation" at the lowest setting can cause the video to be B&W... if I remember right

I have no idea. I guess I have to read the directions and see if I can figure it out. It was fine until she took it to her Dad's and now - Kapoot.

Does it have a video out connection? You could try hooking it up to your tv to see if it's some setting or if it's the display. It could be a loose connection inside.
