Even a multi standard TV might not be able to display all formats in color.

(i assume you are in N. America) 2) what standard is the tape you are trying to play? 3) are the symptoms the same on PAL and NTSC tapes? speeds? 4) model of machine?? (I have a sharp VC-890ET multisystem deck) 5) have you tried it on a different monitor? if still faulty, could be a dry joint on a crytal on the relevant chroma section...but check the above first and post back! -Ben Jeremy wrote:

The vcr model is VC-MH300 conversion, since, as you say, you need a Tv monitor of the system you are playing back. it is correct then that you're getting a B&W picture with pal to NTSC. The NTSC colour subcarrier is 3.58 and PAL is 4.43. what would, however, be incorrect is having b&w from NTSC tapes on the NTSC set! does this happen? -B. My VCR, sony EE-150E has two switches or playback standards:1.color system
:auto/pal-mesecam/ntsc and playback:on pal tv/ntsc 4.43.Have you checked that your VCR has a similar switch, maybe in the back panel, that canplayback on the standard your tv is? -- Show quoteHide quoteTzortzakakis Dimitrios major in electrical engineering, freelance electrician FH von Iraklion-Kreta, freiberuflicher Elektriker dimtzort AT otenet DOT gr ?
