RE: Picture problems playing DVD on Toshiba SD210E

OK, the source of my problem as I discovered over the weekend is that my TV does not accept NTSC input, so I need a new TV. As a footnote to some of the other comments. If you only get black and white output from your NTSC film, switch from Video or S-Video to RGB output to correct this.

Thanks for your comments everyone.

Picture problems playing DVD on Toshiba SD210E

Hi all, I need some help.

I just bought a multi region Toshiba SD210E. It plays region 2 discs without any problems - the sound and picture and both fantastic. I also have 5 DVDs that I bought a while ago in France that say "no regional encoding" and "playable worldwide" on the covers. They are not pirate copies!!! These play perfectly fine on my DVD player on my PC, but when I play them on the SD210E, I get a black and white picture that scrolls continuously up the screen. I can see the movie playing behind it, but don`t know what the problem might be. I have tried switching to PAL from AUTO, but am told it is not a PAL disc, so I try again on AUTO and get the black and white picture again.

Has anyone else come across this? Have I been sold a region 2 player mistakenly labelled as multi region? Is there some other thing I should be trying?

If you know the answer, please can you mail me at yeltneb.nomis[at]moc.xepip.laid and copy yeltneb.nomis[at]moc.vresif.sbc?

Much appreciated....

Simon
