I've got a Toshiba combined VCR/DVD/Freeview which connects to the TV with a scart lead. For some reason I cannot fathom, the video replays perfectly but only in black and White. Everything else (DVD, TV play etc) works as it should. Settings for colour all on auto. I've checked all the cables are in and turned it on and off endlessly...any ideas? Anyone...?

Nope all videos - pre recorded and home recorded. i tried recording and it still played back in B+W. As far as I recall Star wars was not made in B+W!!

I've changed the scart, so there isn't anything else to connect - that links TV to combi box of tricks...very annoying and baffling in equal measures.

So....... what is it likely to be then. Maybe help the OP along?

one other option


does the VCR have aerial input and output? you could possibly connect an aerial cable from the aerial out to the TV (assuming it has a tuner) then retune the TV whilst a video is playing the VCR will then come up as a channel on the TV

I have no idea what the problem is. But if the built in DVD and freeview work fine, then it can't be the cable.


It could just be that the heads are badly worn and the VCR is reaching the end of its life. I'm sure the OP could pick up another one for free on Freecycle or somewhere.

    • I did read the comments above It's not moaning, it's stating facts. Tell you what,  you can come and clear up the near daily fox crap and see how you like dealing with it, no didn't think that would appeal to you.  Do they control rodents?  Foxes are vermin.  It's an emotive topic for some, I realise that, however the facts are foxes are a pest.
    • Well why don't you read the posts on this thread suggesting humane ways of deterring them from your garden, and do something constructive about it, instead of moaning? As for culling - how do you think that should be done, exactly?  And yes, as said above, they control rodents. Would you rather be overrun by rats?
    • It's hardly likely someone was going to kill him just because they knew about him 🙄
    • I understand that dealing with mess in your garden is frustrating, but calling for culling & branding those who care as "idiotic" isn't just unhelpful, it's dangerously reductive. Urban foxes exist because we've steadily removed their natural habitat. They adapt, survive & yes sometimes that means scavenging in places we'd rather they didn't. But labeling them a "pest" overlooks the bigger picture, which is that they are part of our urban ecosystem & play a vital role in controlling rodent population. As someone above so accurately pointed out, dogs leave more waste on footpaths. A fox is a canine, just like dogs. So are you calling for the culling of pets too?
