TV/DVD 22DL833B combo is playing DVD in black and white

We were given a year old, but never used Toshiba 22DL833B tv and dvd all in one.
On playing a DVD, the picture is black and white. As far as we are aware, there is no physical fault. We are unable to check if it is just the dvd player that is affected as we do not have sky multi room to test tv channels, it was purely for our daughter to watch dvd 's on.
We have gone through all the setting on the menu button on the remote and cannot find a solution.
Does anyone have a solution? Thank you.
Edit: it is capable of colour, as the icons in the settings menu e.g picture settings are partly blue.

This sounds really strange.
Does the black/white picture appear playing all possible DVDs?
Ive no plausible explanation for that because I did not find any setting/option in the user manual which could explain why this black/white screen appears using the DVD player.
But it could be possible that the issue is related to the different DVD region code.

Playback on TV is only is only black and white, any idea what setting is causing this. It is played back via a Denon asd-11r.

I have hooked my nano up to a Denon ASD-11R to play back thru my home system. Audio is GREAT, video is only playing back in Black and White. Anyone have ideas what setting is wrong fro video playback?

RAW capture includes color information. The b/w is just a camera setting like white balance that does not change the actual capture of "RAW" image data (which is why we can easily change exposure, WB etc. during post processing edits of RAW captures).
Your solution is to shoot RAW + JPEG capture. The JPEGs will have the camera mods like b/w; or the RAWs can be converted to b/w using Aperture or an image editor like GIMP or Pixelmator.
In the past if pix remained b/w upon import it was because you were seeing the camera JPEGs, not RAW.

Satellite A40-151 DVD drive will not play DVDs

hi my dvd drive will play music cd's but when i try to play a dvd it just makes a beep and nothing happens i tried windvd and it comes on but everything is blurred and still wont play a dvd

Hello John
Please dont be mad on me but in your posting there is no question or something just small report that DVD drive will not play DVDs.
Anyway, if I am remembering well your unit is about 2 years old and has probably DVD-CDRW (Combo) drive. In my opinion there is no much to do. If the drive has problem with original DVDs I presume that there is laser calibrations problem and the device must be replaced.
I dont know how old is your unit exactly but please check if the warranty is still valid. If yes contact service partner in your country immediately. The drive should be replaced for free. If not you must replaced it on your own. If the drive replacement costs too much I recommend you to use external device (I do it with my old Satellite). On this way I can use newest and very fast super multi DL devices and also create own DVDs.
You can also try to find already used DVD/CD-RW drive and replace it alone. If you need assistance by replacement please write again.
Once again, dont be mad on me. I am ready to write my opinion but it is really annoying when someone write just one sentence and nothing more.
Good luck!

This is supposed to happen, licensing issue mean that Apple can't AirPlay protected content to other devices. You might try VLC instead of Apples built in DVD player.

im making a photo slide show using imovie. how will i make a dvd copy that can play in both pc and dvd player. i dont have an idvd anymore. m using a mbp early 2011 osx 10.8.5.
after making the photo slide show, i clicked share>export movie. after which i burned using toast. the file became a .mov. i tried playing it in my mac and it worked. my fear now is will it also play in a regular dvd?... i read from google that mov files won't run in dvd players. what format should i convert it to so it'll play in a dvd player. can you suggest a faster way i can burn my projects for it takes me almost an hour to export. im going to make 28 slideshows for my kids in school. *=( if i need to do this process 28 times, i may not be able to finish it on time. please suggest a software or an alternative as to how i should do this... m more comfortable using imovie than iphoto. thanks and i hope to hear from someone soon *=j

Thank you QuickTimeKirk...used toast to burn project... my project was in .mov, i tried to play it a dvd player, it did play... will try again tomorrow using another dvd player just to be sure it'll will really work with dvd players. thank you again for your reply *=)

TV/DVD Combi DVD plays in black and white

I have a TV/DVD Combi 32DV502B. The TV is fine but when I press source on the remote and select DVD mode it comes up in black and white and the DVD plays in black and white. The only cables that come out of the TV are power and aerial cables. Can anybody help

That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region.

My burned DVD is playing in black and white only ?

When I burned my imovie using idvd the dvd will only play in black and white. I tried the DVD in two dvd players. Everything previews in color on imovie & idvd.
Did I accidentally click something or change a setting?

There are at least 2 possible scenarios here you may need to double check both.
1. You can do B&W in iMovie but apparently you say it previews fine and in full color within iDvd. Is this correct?
2. There are no loose connections or reversed cables on your camcorder or dvd player. Double check them and make sure they are all in the correct inputs (audio vs. video) and are snug and fit properly. If necessary, try all new cables or at the very least try a different set of cables.

hope this helps but if not just come on back.

I have had my mac book pro for about a year and a half and suddenly my dvd player will not play DVDs and i can not play alot of things on full screen. Does anybody know how i can fix this?

This could be several things, but let's get the obvious ones out of the way, first:
1. Judging from your text, there's no problem with anything stuck in the mechanism; it's more an issue of no being to put in a disk. In other words, you're sure that there isn't a disk stuck in your MBP. (That happens a lot for all computers.)
2. Go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility, and repair the disk. This should take under 10 minutes.
3. Perform the procedure outlined here:

4. After you're done, leave a message here as to the status of the repair.

Why Does My DVD play in Black and White and Not Color??

Hello,
I made a DVD of some video clips that I shot in color. The DVD plays fine on my computer (it plays in color), and it plays on the TV except it shows up as black and white. Other DVD's play just fine in color on the TV. What is the problem? Thanks!!!

The only two reasons I can think of that something would play in black and white are:
(a) you are using an S-video connection and there's a problem with a connector or cable. If the connection is loose or broken, you can see an image but it will be black and white.
(b) viewing a PAL disc on a NTSC TV... I've not tried it but I thought that you can sometimes see the image but that it is black and white. There would be other problems with the image too, though, not just a lack of color.
What make and model of player are you using? What kind of TV? Are you using composite or s-video or component connection? Are you using DVD-Rs or something else (-RW, +R, +RW, dual layer)?
Seriously, I can think of no reason why it would display in color on your computer, but not on your TV.

DVD Player Just stopped Playing DVDs

Just today, the DVD player has stopped playing DVDs on my ibook. I tried putting in a multitude of diferent DVDs, but I always got the same result: the disc image would not appear in the desktop, and the DVD player would open, as if it were in standby, but it would not play. Any idea as to what may have happened/how I could remedy this?

Hello,
Follow these steps and you should be on your way to watching your DVD's:
1) First, Quit DVD Player if open.
2) Eject your DVD.
2) Go to: Home > Library > Preferences.
3) Find the file called: com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist and move it to the trash.
4) Insert your DVD.
5) If necessary, launch DVD Player.
I hope this works!

My DVD player only plays in black and white

Just got a new Toshiba HDTV (model no. 39L1350U) and am trying to hook up the DVD player. Got sound, but it only shows a black and white picture. The only way I get any picture at all is by plugging the yellow of the standard AV cable into the green jack. I know this is not right, but don't know where to plug in the yellow connection since there is no yellow jack on the back of the TV. Am I going to need a different cable? My DVD player is an old Sony.
Thanks.

My DVR670KU is about six year's old now. Been getting only a black/white picture. Was using and S-Video connecting cable to the TV. When I connected using an HDMI cable, now have the color again. Believe the S-Video cable failed/went bad. Was previously getting color from it though.

DVD's and PS2 in Black and White on New Aquos

I just purchased a 42" SHARP Aquos. I have my Direct TV DVR hooked up and TV looks and works great.
I also have a 3 year old phillips tuner/dvd player and my PS2 hooked up to the tv and both play in black and white only.
Everything worked fine on the 32" magnavox flat screen I had previously.
Any help would be appreciated.
Phil

Swap out the DVR with one of the others and that will tell you if the inputs on your TV are defective.

My dvd is coming out in black and white why?

my dvd is coming out in black and white from imovie 8 and idvd

Hi
What did You feed iMovie ? Video codec ?
How did You go from iMovie to iDVD ? Describe step by step Please.

My iPod connects to my TV just fine, but it only plays in black and white,

i can connect it and get it to play videos, but it will only play in black and white. i know the videos are color, but none is coming up. any ideas on problems or ways to fix it?

So just the three RCA jack type, one side into your iPod's headphone jack and then Video and L&R Audio RCA plugs at the other end?
Did you check your iPod's video settings to make sure you are not sending out PAL when you want NTSC or sending out NTSC when you want PAL?

"Old Black and White" filter does not play once rendered

Hi,
If I apply the Old Black and White filter to a clip, the effected clip does not get played in the timeline. Instead, iMovie skips right past it and on to the clip immediately following the effected clip.
The effect does seem to be applied (the red progress bar moves along and it previews ok too), although the clip thumbnail is totally black instead of displaying the first frame of the modified clip. And, the clip object appears in the timeline (in both clip view and time view). iMovie just won't play it.
I've tried the effect on different clips in the timeline, same result. Also, I've exported the clip by itself, reimported it, and then applied the effect, same result. I can reproduce the problem on three workstations.
Has anyone heard of this problem?
Thanks for your help,
Glenn

Hello Glenn and Karsten.
I was interested so I tested this on a couple of my videos using my G5 DP Mac and iMovie HD 3.0.3 (267.2)
Every rendered Old Black and White filtered clip I tried played properly, whether in time or clip view and whether full-screen or in the edit window. No problem here.
Glenn can replicate the issue on three workstations. Are these workstations all accessing the same server for iMovie HD?
