What are the main symptoms and reasons for this problem? Usually, this problem commonly happens when you try to play DVD discs on a new DVD player, or on some occasions that you have changed the settings of the DVD players and output TVs.  When you are ready to play the DVD disc, you come to find that you are accessible to both the sound and picture. However, the pictures showed are only in black and white. It is quite undoubted that the movie disc that you have bought is not in black and white. Then a conclusion may draw then, something went wrong. Generally, the main causes of the problem are included in the following aspects. <\/p>\n<p><strong>1. The incorrect TV and DVD broadcast formats. <\/strong>NTSC and PAL are two of the world's major TV broadcast formats, but they vary depending on how often the system projects color images. NTSC is the abbreviation of National Television System Committee. Its standard is mainly used in Japan, the United States, Canada, Mexico, etc. PAL is the abbreviation of Phase Alternating Line, which is mainly used in China, Hong Kong, Middle East and Europe. These two systems are not compatible with each other. If you play NTSC on a PAL TV, the picture will turn black and white, as will the NTSC system. <\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Incorrect cabling.<\/strong> If the image connected to the DVD player turns black and white, then check if the connection to the TV is correct. If only three wires are connected, then it is connected to the normal AV interface. Now there are video components behind the digital HD TV. Interface, connecting component interface requires five lines, three-component videos and two audio lines to watch normally. If the image suddenly turns black and white during the viewing process, it may be faulty.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. The backlight of the TV screen is abnormal or broken.<\/strong> This is the exterior cause of this problem. If the backlight of the output TV is out of order, then it would have great effects on the picture color. <\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Objective factors, like whether and connection signal.<\/strong> If the weather is too humid, the physical conditions of the TV and DVD player will be changed and some of the important spare parts may run out of order. <\/p>\n<div class=\"tc\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/why-in-black-white.jpg\" onClick=\"return hs.expand(this)\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/why-in-black-white.jpg\" alt=\"why-in-black-white\" width=\"650\" height=\"332\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-72154 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/entips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/why-in-black-white.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/entips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/why-in-black-white-300x153.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 650px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 650\/332;\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"part2\" class=\"wp-part pl20\"><strong>Part 2: How to Solve the Issue<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>By referring to the above reasons for the black and white DVD pictures, some of the solutions can be given accordingly.
