I have been reading about the Phillips 642 DVD player on here and decided to buy one. It does seem to play just about anything you throw in it but I have an issue with it. The color thru the component jacks is all messed up. Everything seems greenish blue. I checked all the jacks 3 times and nothing was wrong. I took it back to Bestbuy and swapped it out for another one thinking maybe I just got a bad player. Same prob when I got home. I hooked up my old player just to make sure it still worked and to see if the prob could be on the tv or cords. My old player had a great picture. I tried one more time with the new one and same thing... Any ideas guys???

OMG I just bought this player about 2 hours ago, came home, hooked it up, and am having the EXACT same problem as you! I can't believe I came on here and boom there is another person with the same issue.

What TV are you using? I'm using the Toshiba CN36Z71. Of the 3 color cables for the video, its the red one that is not responding, leaving the picture all greenish, blue like you say. I've got 2 other DVD players here, hooked them up with the same cables, and the picture is fine. I don't want to believe this unit is bad out of the box but I'm starting to think it might be. Unfortunately I don't have another TV in the house with component inputs to test on. I did test the RCA video out and it works fine. It just seems to be the red out that is not working. Maybe you and I got a bad run on the production line?? I'm going to take this thing with me tomorrow to work where I know there will be a TV I can test it on. I'll let you know what happens.

OMG I need a good beatin thrown on me for not reading the manual! I figured out our problem. Out of the box, this DVD player was set to S-Video under the Video Menu which you get to by hitting the System Menu button on the remote. Change it to YpbPr and your all set!

Yep. I figured it out to after I posted. LOL... I cannot believe the default was set for that. That's a first for me.
