TV AV2 Black and White !

[Mike]

Hi all

Strange thing !

I plug my DVD-R into the AV2 socket on the back of the TV. If I try and watch it by pressing AV (green button on the remote control) it comes on black on white. Tried all the cables, swapping to AV1 and things are ok. I then found out if I press the green button again it colour

So the green button seems to toggle between black and white. I wonder is this normal or is there a fault with the AV2 socket on the back ???

Any ideas

Thanks

Mike

In set up make sure its RGB no svideo

Many TVs only support composite and S-video on AV2, not RGB.

Might be PAL and NTSC?

If I change the lead from AV2 to AV1 it plays ok ????

Can't swear to this but i was told that "hot-plugging" scart leads while equipment is on can cause a huge build up of static capable of blowing any chips that it comes into contact with?

afaik AV2 doesnt support RGB scart cables - just use AV1 problem solved.

If this is the case just change the output in dvd settings

Already have my digital box plugged into AV1

Then try the DVD-R in the 'VCR' scart socket of the STB instead.

Just like this but with your DVD-R instead of the VCR:

On my TV AV2 is colour AV2.5 is BW, same for AV3 & AV3.5, for some reason comes up in 2.5 but easy to set back to 2. Is yours the same?
