Just hooked up my DVD player for the first time in many months, after a house move. TV colours are fine as usual, but when I play DVDs the pictures are red - not good for watching the Simon Scharma art programmes!

I would hook up the HDMI directly from the DVD player and cable box to the two HDMI inputs on the TV. I would not use the receiver upconvert to HDMI, since that means you went through an analog stage. Run separate coax or optical to your receiver for audio. Unfortunately this means you have to switch both your TV and the receiver to change inputs. The only way to avoid that is to get a receiver that handles HDMI switching. They are becoming availble, so you may want to wait for a reasonably-priced one. Onkyo is good, but check out Denon and Yamaha receivers as well. These are all highly rated and will give you good sound if you go for the higher level models.

Hi it sound like the scart lead, you may need a new on. The best ones are the copper ones, last for ages and you get a better picture. I had the same problem until I changed the scart lead.

Check it is set to RGB and not S-Video on the settings menu.
If you are using a cheap scart multi adaptor, this can also cause this. Alternatively, you may be trying to play an NTSC dvd as opposed to a PAL (or other way around). Check player and disc compatibility.

either the scart lead is slightly loose (either in the tv or the dvd player) or the TV is set to the RGB channel input.
That can make the colour look weird.

Try checking your scart/AV input cable, might be this. Otherwise it sounds like a contrast issue.

its probably, the scart lead is not in properly.
