My DVD player shows 2 images side by side without color. What's the fix for this?

Question

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I wonder if it could be some kind of an adjustment that I need to make. I haven't used it for a long time and then when I need it, it doesn't work right. I've tried other disks that worked in the past, so I know the disk isn't the problem.

Answer 1

You most likely have progressive scan enabled on a TV that cannot support it. Typically this setting is activated in the setup menu of the DVD player. You may see the choice marked as "480p" output rather than "480i". However, occasionally there is an external switch that controls it. Refer to the instruction manual for specific directions.

In order to get to see the menu, connect via composite cables(yellow for video) and then switch back to component(what I am assuming is being used) once its fixed.
