Hello cherylsacket,

Check your cables to your TV. If possible check the various cables to your set. I would suggest using the HDMI cable if your TV has an HDMI input. Remember to power off all devices before connecting your cables. If I may ask which cable are you using to connect between your Tv and the DVD player?

Thank you,

SOURCE: SONY DVD PLAYER DVP-SR200P BUT IT ONLY SHOW IN BLACK AND WHITE ?

You have posted this in the Panasonic DMR-ES30VS section.
Please note which product section you are in before posting your question.

For the Sony DVP-SR200P there could be multiple reasons for it only showing in B&W.
Was this a recent problem, is this a new hook-up, has it always been this way?

  1. In the setup menu there is a setting for Custom Picture Mode.
    Could someone have turned the color down?
    You can go to the setup menu and "Reset" the player to the factory settings.
  2. How is this connected to your TV?
    Check all cables to make sure they are plugged in, test each one by unplugging it, and then plug it back in fully.

    If you are using a composite cable (1 cable yellow plug), be sure you have plugged it in from yellow to yellow.

    If you are using the component (3 cables red-green-blue plugs) hook-up, be sure you are using cables only designed for component hook-up, and have plugged them in correctly, red to red, green to green, blue to blue (Be sure you've plugged the red cable into the red video not red audio).

    Are the cables in good condition?
    No breaks, loose connectors, they weren't smashed under a piece of furniture?
    Have you tried a different set of cables?
  3. Test the DVD player on another TV.
    Does the same thing happen?
    Did you "Reset" the DVD player?
    Maybe the DVD player is bad?
  4. Find another DVD player and test it with your TV.
    Does it work OK, or is it black and white too?
    Maybe the connectors on the TV are bad?
    Is there a custom setting on the TV for that connection?
    On some TVs you can adjust the settings for each input (INPUT 1, INPUT 2, ....) maybe the color setting is turned down?
There are may possibilities, but these are some of the basic things to check.
Best wishes,
-Greg-

My movies are only in black & white

This is a connector/cable problem. Replace the video cable with a new one.

Why is there no color

If using component video out please make sure that all cables are firmly and securely connected to the player and the TV.
-Component = Green/Blue/Red cables or jacks.

If using the video out please make sure that the TV color settings are not set to grey or black and white.

If everything is connected properly I would recommend to connect the player to another TV to see if the same issue will occur. Also check the color settings on the DVD player under picture mode.

Hooked up dvd sr200p to bravia..no color...

If you are connected useing the component video cords (red,blue,green,red,white) it sounds as if you have the red,blue or green cords connected to the wrong color of jacks on the back of the TV or the DVD player, recheck your connections.
If all is good there, maybe one of those cords are bad?
The Sony DVP-SR200P DVD player is on the bottom end of their model line up, and you may have received a bad one right out of the box!
GOOD LUCK !!

Make sure the connection to the TV is correct. Yellow(video) jack from the DVD player will go to yellow jack of the TV, white to white(audioL) and red to red(audioR) for compsite audio/video connection. Red to red, green to green and blue to blue for component connection.

Sony dvp ns50p dvd player

If you are using the s-video jack to connect the DVD to the TV, the jack could be loose or the wire could be bad. The s-video cable has 2 signals, the black-and-white (luminance) and the color (chroma). If the chroma signal is not getting through, the picture will be in black and white.
