HOMITA DVD Player Only Playing Black and White

Great help Erin!
I switched RCA cords and I now have color. The other one must've went bad. Thank goodness I had a spare.

I had the same problem and found out I had pluged the rca video cord into the svideo jack. It played black and white pic unti I pluged it into the video slot NOT the svideo.Hope this helps.

I know. My Homita (same model) does the exact same thing. Only plays in black and white. Not even 1 yr old. I called 1-800-726-9493 ext 324 got some foreign guy saying he could not help us. But the phone # was Homita, maybe he was in Hong Kong, or something. Please email me if you figure it out. We also, tried everything.. I was going to send it back but warranty expired. Thanks.Good luck.

What kind of cords are you using to connect it to the tv?

S-video cords frequently fail. Usually they just stop showing the red color (or show all red only, I forget) but it is possible that all colors failed at once.

Also, if you are using RCA (white, red, and yellow) make sure they are all still connected properly. Try replacing them.

It is always cheaper, easier, and faster to try new cords than take the player in for diagnosis or repair.

If you have extra connections on the TV, try moving the cords. It is also possible that your input has failed.

Good luck.
