Just bought a new dvr620ku Toshiba dvd player, but it will only play in black and white with my Samsung smart tv which has an antenna and not cable or satellite.. Do I need another cable?
Many TVs share the component video (3 RCA jacks) and composite video (1 RCA Jack) inputs. If it is set to component and you connect a composite video you get black and white. You have to go into the TV menu and change the input to composite.
Whether you are on antenna or cable does not matter. What matter is, how is the DVD player hooks up to the TV. Usually the Quick-Start guide of the TV or DVD would show a PICTURE. Can't get easier than that.
