How can I get rid of the purple background when I press the functiond key a?

Whilst re setting the time after the recorder had been un plugged for 12 hours the TV screen went to a purple background when I pressed the function key or played a pre recorded DVD. Is this a fault or have I been stupid and unknowingly changed a setting ?
