Just switched to component cables from RCA. I'm only using these with DVD. I am now get all dark scenes have a green tint. TV picture via RCA is OK. I have component from DVD to Receiver back to TV. |

Pkitch, hi there check the scart connection is plugged in nice and tightly, if the problem is still happening, undo the scart on both ends, if the wire or the pin connection as come undone solder it up, this will take only a few minutes to do.
Good luck
Ash…

pkitch, In case you don't live across the great pond, (thus not having a clue about a scart connector) you might want to double check that your cable ends match the color indicated by the component input jack all the way from the DVD to the TV. I'll trust that you have component (R, G, B) connectors on all three.
Also you could try going from DVD to TV directly and eliminate the reciever just for kicks.

I have a rear projection HDTV (55" Mit.) and JVC DVD player with component cables and I have the same green tint problem. I've checked all the connections. It is either the cable or DVD player's fault. If you figure this out, let me know! |

Also make sure that your TV or monitor doesnt have a selection setting in the inputs menu that allows the component vid input to change formatts between RGB and component.
Having this switched to RGB can also cause a green picture. |

I'm pretty sure we're talking consumer, not industrial products here, so your DVD and TV are going to be Component Video.
All three cables and connections must be good or you can get green tint. Since Component signals are made up of Luminance, and difference signals from Red and Blue (Y, R-Y, B-Y) the green signal is derived from the combination of the three signals. (R, G, B, previous post refer to cable sleeve colors)
Component Video cables are almost always a type of COAX, if it has been pinched or severly bent it can effect the capacitance on one of the cables which has the affect of imbalancing the cable's frequency response. Hence, one signal gets attenuated causing the green tint. Sometimes, cheap cables can also do the same as they may be made of inferior materials, poor shielding, etc and not balanced between the three signals.
If you can pick up a new cable or swap with someone, you can troubleshoot through process-of-elimination. |

dont get upset at this comment but it happened to me very recently. after 3 days of forums searching and phone calls to manufactures. I found that my component cables were not firmly plugged into the device. (and i mean push hard.) its worth a try.
good luck

I'm having the same problem and pushing hard didn't work. tried two different cables - no luck. Problem exists with both pioneer dvd recorder and with motorola PVR. Picture is much better with RCA or s-Video cables. Any suggestions? |

check the integrity of your component cables. |
