I think I am probably being a little dense again... Today I took delivery of my second player a dvl700 and incurred the wrath of a very angry wife demanding to know why I needed a second LD player and where it was going. After much playing for time and appeasement I convinced Her it'd go in my daughters room hooked up to a sony kvm 14 in crt. Sadly thus far I can't get a colour output and only mono sound (I have one of those composite to scart converter things but that didn't do the job). Any ideas I assume it's to do with the refresh rate of the tv and on my cinema set up with a projector it'd be fine. I am hoping there's a solution since I sold the player being in little one's room on basis it plays DVDs. Incidentally I know its region locked for them but I shall feign ignorance if that ever comes out! Cheers nick |

How do you have it connected? Check my signature link if you're at all uncertain. It's important to remember that the component output is intended only for DVD playback, & will give anomalous results (which may appear as monochrome picture) during LD playback. If you want a single connexion, S-Video would be the one to chose. |

It was just via composite hadn't appreciated that on this player that'd primarily be used for dvd so thanks! Not sure if I have a s video connection on this tv. Looks more likely I may need to swap my players around - the other reason being I have a very noisy stepdown which sorta ruins the ambience of movie watching!! |

DVL-700 didn't have component. Sounds more like trying to watch a NTSC signal on a PAL TV, the colour is processed differently. |
