I have a problem connecting my reg. dvd player to my newer hdtv lcd Samsung 330 series tv. what can I do?

Question

I can't connect my dvd player to my new Samsung LCD HDTV. The cable is great and works fine but I have used the HDMI wires and my dvd player is too old and doesnt have that option so I have used reg. red,green,blue component wires along with separate audio/video wires. I have sound and picture but the color is in black and white. Are my wires correct of do I need to purchase another dvd player I have two and both are older but work fine on other tvs. what should I do. The tv is new and the color and sound are not affected when I use my cable and HDMI source.

Answer 1

To check if it is the cable. Switch the green/red cables (on both sides of course). Is the problem still there?

If you get b/w, it means "green" is OK, but you don't get color from blue and red.
