Hooking up a DVD player question.

[CrazyKell]

So I finally figured out how to get my DVD player hooked up but there's a problem with the video quality.

I can see the picture but it's in black and white.

What am I doing wrong?

Not asking a man to come over and hook it up.

Lol.

The only thing you have to do is hook up the cables and plug it in, so Id just double check the cables (even though they are color coded usually).

[CrazyKell]

Yes the cables are colour coded and I have them hooked up to the right spots.

I just don't get why it would be black and white instead of actually colour. Argh!

Are you using HDMI, Component, RCA or, S-Video?

[CrazyKell]

I'm using red/white/yellow to red/white/yellow.

Apparently someone else has had this problem too....but no resolution. argh!

RCA jacks or sometimes called composite video. Try a new RCA cable. Is the RCA cable new?

[CrazyKell]

The cable is not new but I have a new one sitting here too. I'm going to have another look at it tonight.

1. Hook your DVD player to a COLOR TV.

2. Quit spelling COLOR with a U!
