Could be one or more bad solder connections - try GENTLY wiggling each end
of the S-cable.

Also, make sure the DVD output mode is not set to component video. Usually, it's
set in one of the menu options.

My DVD player suddenly started showing everything (including the screen
saver) in black and white. It is connected to a big screen Sony with an
S video cable. It works fine except there is no colour. Colour on the set
from other sources is fine.
Is the problem likely with the DVD player, the cable or the input on the
TV?
Thought I'd solicit some ideas before I wade into the bird's nest of
wiring back there to experiment.
Thanks
