I have a Pioneer 3 disk DVD changer. When I play a dvd the picture will look like it should for about 30 seconds then the picutre gets dark for about a minute, and then back to regular picture quality. It will continue to do this the whole time a DVD is playing. I tried using a DVD cleaner, but the problem is ongoing. Any ideas?

You can't connect the DVD to the TV via a VCR, it must be direct or the Macrovision copy protection will do exactly what you art saying. As John says, connect directly, as the manual says.

My pioneer dvd DV-C503 only plays dvd in black & white but when I use my cable it's in color? How do I change the dvd to color.
