Page 1 of Mustek V56L-2C

I have got a Mustek V56L-2C model and want to change the settings so that it will allow me to view DVD from America.

I have followed the instructions for the 56L-5C and this allows me to view the DVD for both region 1 & 2, however it keeps showing them in Black & White.

Anybody and ideas?

Thanks

A black and white picture from a hacked player usually means you are outputting an American NTSC signal to a British PAL television set. Is it B&W for both region 1 and region 2 discs or only the former?

Its only black and white for region 2, American DVD?

Don`t understand this. Your R1 American discs should say NTSC on the back and your R2 discs PAL. Is there any chance your R2 discs were sourced in Japan which uses the NTSC standard but is a R2 dvd region?

Sorry about that. Region 2 plays in colour, but the Region 1 plays in black & white. The DVD I was trying does have NTSC on the back. When I put a region 2 DVD in it flicks back to colour.

Thanks for trying

Then you have just confirmed you`re trying to run an NTSC signal into a non NTSC TV.

Two possible solutions:
1) go into the player setup menu`s and look for "TV ouput" or "TV Stnadard/Type" or similar. It may be set to "Auto" or "multi" at present, you want this to read "PAL". Turn your player off and back on and that would cure it.

2) If no setup option (or switch on the player saying same, usually at the rear), then make sure you are running the player on the TV`s RGB enabled scart socket, with a good 21 pin fully wired scart, and that the player is outputting RGB.

If those two fail, either a converter or a new TV, but be warned, converters aint cheap if you wanna buy a good one!
