Try changing settings to RGB not composite that will cure it and improve the picture.

Are u sure it is RGB, then make sure your TV is RGB capable I.E right scart socket, usally AV1 then make sure it is a full scart lead you can do that by opening the lead and checking all pins are connected.

What make and model is your tv? How old is it? It will only help to change the scart lead if TV is RGB compatiable.

I too have the same problem. Purchased the chipped version of the SD220 but my region 1 disks appear balck and white. The strange thing is that my previous DVD player (a Shinco 8100) played the region 1 disks ok and the films are in colour on my TV. The TV I have is NTSC compatible and my previous Shinco DVD proves this. So what could the problem be??

Any suggestions is appreciated.
