Video Turned Black and White. What is the Problem?

[konfusion]

i get this email with someone i traded with like 3 years ago atleast saying that what was a color show and i think pal at that was color and now only plays in black and white. Somehow the color has disappeared from all the disks. Have you had that problem with anyone else.

i never heard that before maybe someone can tell me what can cause that?

It's not the discs, it's his player, television or wiring at fault. This is a common problem. I've not had this problem more than once, so I forget all the possible causes. I've seen many posts on this sort of thing over at videohelp.com

Discs can "lose color", that's not even possible.
