I recently bought a Panasonic LS-84 portable region-free DVD player for my kids. It's a really nice little machine and works very well. While at home I like to connect it to a TV for them so they can enjoy viewing on a bigger screen. Unfortunately, when I do this, the picture is black and white and the picture quality is not as good. The TV audio works well but I can't get a nice color picture.

If you have any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
How are you connecting it to the TV? If you're not using regular composite/RCA, give that a shot. You might lose some quality but it almost always works just fine. Oh, and whatever source you're using, confirm the cables are good. No shorts or anything.
 
Thanks for your reply. I got the problem rectified. It had to do with the screen settings PAL60 and NTSC. It was on PAL60 but had to be on the latter for this region and it did the trick! I'm glad it was simple and the machine works like a dream now on the big screen. Again, thanks for your help.
 
Could be an NTSC/PAL button you need to press. Some DVD players have this either on the remote control or the player itself to match with the TV region code or DVD itself.
