Last night we were watching a DVD of a color film in the livingroom. Got late, so we decided to finish the film in the bedroom. Turned on the TV in there, and all was normal with the picture. Put the DVD in the player, and the picture was B&W! Also noticed that the picture was shifted downward on the screen a bit, and the picture quality was rather low.
This is an older Apex DVD player without progressive scan that we were thinking of replacing anyway because I'm using it through an S-Video cable into a newer wide screen 32" set that has progressive and HDMI input capability.
I ejected the disc and turned the DVD player off and back on...picure the same. Unplugged the S-Video cable and plugged it back in...still the same.
Is this most likely a DVD player malfunction? Today I'm going to try a different cable, then a different DVD player. My plan is to get a better DVD player for the set anyway, but out of curiousity figured I'd post about it here.
TIA,
Rod

Thanks for the input (no pun intended).
I'm ashamed to say I still haven't checked it out. Will post back the results when I've experimented a little.

and see what happens in each room.
The S-Video uses a brightness wire and a color wire. So either your S-Video cable is bad or the color driver of the DVD player is bad. Or even the TV input could be bad. The odds are it is the cable, but unplugging and plugging it in should have done something.
We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along
