Help... My home DVD player
I have a 55" Sony Hi-Def TV and a Toshiba DVD Player...
For some reason the DVD picture is fine when I have it wired on the anolog connections... but when I hook it up on the Digital Component Connections, the DVD Picture on the TV plays in Black & White.
Any suggestions

If they're component connections you can get a black & white picture like that if you have one of the 3 cables not making connection. I would try a different cable (standard RCA jack cables like the red, white, yellow for composite video work). Barring that it could be a bad RCA connector on either your DVD player or your TV. If you have another DVD player try that.

I stand corrected.... Not digital.
I have tried 2 different cables.... and I have used this set of input connectors for my cable to the tv (on the tv). So I know that set of connectors is fine.
I guess that leaves me with... a bad connector (perhaps) on the DVD player... a low end Toshiba about $90.

Anyway you have the dvd set to play only b&w ? I know I have to turn off my cable box, when I have my dvd player on, or the sound is messed up. maybe there is some type of conflict with the connections between 2 sources ?
just thoughts

I'm still working on this problem... I have now narrowed it down further. I have tried another DVD player and have gotten the same result.
I have also tried running my Hi-Def Cable connections into the HK635.... and back out, and into the TV. The result... All the channels play back in black & white.
The origanal DVD Black & White issue... I connected directly to the TV component input (not through the HK635 Audio Receiver). So it would seem that my TV is only acepting the direct connection of the Hi-Def cable.
Anything else I plug into the TV component inputs displays in Black & White... So it must be a problem with a setting on the TV. And I can't find the remote
. . I've been using the cable remote for the last year.

Thanks for help good people of the Corvette Forum
You guys where on the money... I switched cables around several times
and I thought I had all the inputs tested by trial and error.
I guess I some how missed it... The problem is one of the two Component Input sets on the TV
Thanks again
