Hi, I have recently bought the progressive scan slim dvd-vcd player and brought it over to India. But when i use it to view vcds everything is in black and white though the TV is in color and so is the vcd. I have no clue why this is happening. I have increased the color depth but to no avail. The moment i swith from the AV mode to TV everything is fine and colors are being displayed for normal cable connection. Is my color TV not compatible with this? I am using the Composite video out configuration. My TV has 2 ports one for video where i am using the yellow cable and the other for audio (white or red). Can anybody help me on this ?

Hi Roy
There is a option in the Setup menu in the DVD player where you can set the output to NTSC or Multi. You will have to set it to Multi in India. The reason you are seing it black and white is becasue the default setting in the dvd player is NTSC which is a American TV standard. For India you need PAL.
Also make sure that you TV can pick up multi signals

MY AKIA DVD MODEL NO 012-0957 WILL ONLY PLAY IN BLACK AND WHITE. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO PUT IT RIGHT
I BOUGHT THIS DVD PLAYER FOR INDIA. I PLAN TO USE ON PAL SYSTEM IN TV. IS IT GOOD TO PLAY DVD/VCD FROM ANY REGION BY SELECTING MULTI SYTEM ON DVD. IS MULTI SYSTEM COMBINED PAL AND NTSC SYTEM. PLEASE MAKE IT CLEAR TO MAKE SURE TO TAKE TO INDIA. OTHERWISE, SUGGEST ANOTHER DVD PLAYER COMPEITABLE IN INDIA FOR ANY REGION DVD/VCD
