DVD Player is acting weird.. Help!

I have a Apex DVD player,and when I first hooked it up to my new TV it worked great,but lately all the movies I watch will only show in black and white. I have looked through the Menu options to see if there was something in there that would fix it,but was unsuccessful. Anyone have this problem before? How do I fix it?

Go into the player's setup menu and make sure it's set for the kind of
connection you're actually using (component, S-video, composite).

My copy of Wizard Of Oz goes in and out of color and black and white. I've tried 4 different DVD players.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Yup. And/or change the output you're using.

It's a known problem but I'm afraid you'll have to get a new copy.
I think they've solved it it the BluRay edition.
Good luck. smile

OK. I'll get the Blu-ray. Will it work in my Laserdisc player?
