Goodmans tv problem, please help!!

m reid (Mostly Harmless) posted this on Tuesday, 22nd October 2002, 07:14

I have a Philips DVD756 and a Goodmans w28ns tv.
The tv scart 1 is supposed to be rgb and ntsc.
I`ve hacked the dvd to be multi region using a one4all.
Now, when I play any region through the tv scart 1,
the picture is colour but has a strong yellow tinge
When I use tv scart 2 ( not rgb ), the R2 discs are perfect
and R1 is black and white.
I`m using 21 pin scart lead from tv to dvd.
I tried R1 and R2 with an old Sharp portable using the
same scart lead and the colours are fine so I think
it must be the tv.
Any ideas on what I can do?
It definitely says rgb and NTSC compatiblle in the tv manual,
but nothing about setting or altering it.

Many thanks
Matthew

I had a look in the manual for my DVD751, I am sure it is pretty much the same as the 756 and as I thought the player does not have an RGB output or at least RGB is not mentioned anywhere in the manual, the scart outputs seem to be composite only, best it can achieve is s-video through the dedicated s-video socket, that is how mine is connected to the TV and picture is brilliant whether PAL or NTSC.

The 756 may be different but have been told (never confirmed it) they are the same players just look a little different.

Thanks for replying Gerald.

If the dvd is the possible problem, would it not be
the same on the portabe tv I tried the dvd with?

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Please......................

Hi

When using that tv are you selecting RGB via the options you can go through with the remote of the tv.Just check that it is in RGB not Svideo.I have that model tv and it shows dvd great no odd colours.
And region 1 via a Alba 108 is fine and in colour via any setting on the socket that has Rgb / svideo /comp.Just set the dvd to show in NTSC then you get sharp text and good colours.

Hi R.B.

Thanks for the help.
I can`t see anything on the remote or manual
about changing from S Video to RGB.
I`m sure I`m being thick!!
You couldn`t tell me how to do this could you?

Many thanks

Matt

I have the 32" Goodmans and if it`s the same as mine you do it like this:

Press the MENU button on the remote, scroll to SETUP, then press right arrow key and scroll down to AV1, then right arrow again and flick between Vid or RGB.

Cheers Mark

I don`t seem to have a Menu button on my remote,
but thanks for replying.
Which 32 " model do you have?

I`ve also just noticed a typo from my original
post, my tv is a w288ns, not w28ns.
So if R.B. from the earlier post, or anyone
else can help me, I`d be grateful.

Cheers
Matt

Hi again

Just press the TV/AV button then either the up or down arrow button to pick which you want and it goes in a circle so just keep pressing to find the one you want.

ok

Ours is the Goodmans (Thomson Tube)W325NST 32" Widescreen. The menu button is a largish round one.

Hi again,

I must havea different remote.
I don`t haveseem to have a round button.

I also don`t have a button that says tv/av.
I have a tv button and a scart button, but
neither gives me any options to change
anything.
Do you have the exact same model R.B.
My manual seems to apply to the W288ns
and W321ns.

Thanks to everyone for their help so far,
if you have any other idess please help.

Thanks
Matthew
