Zenith color menu, bw picture
We have an ancient Zenith--SJ7775BG from 1991 and it's still going
like a champ. But suddenly we found ourselves watching black and white tv, while the menu comes up in color and looks like it always has. A DISH/VCR/receiver/CDplayer are part of the set up and for local stations we must use a 'rabbit ears' antenna--we have no cable. We think that the greys in the screen look slightly colored, some are brown grey, some are cool grey. We've gone through the menu and checked the color settings, everything seems to be okay. We cannot figure out why we cannot get a color picture, especially because the menu is coming up in vivid color. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We no longer have the original remote but that has never been a problem in the past and the one we've been using seems to work fine. Thanks :-) Linda |

Zenith color menu, bw picture
Rodger and Linda:
It sounds like you have done the proper "home" troubleshooting with the menu settings and controls. You would be best advised to TAKE your television to a service shop for at the very least a repair cost estimate so you can make an intelligent repair decision with facts instead of internet or phone guesses. Nothing more you can do at home..... a shop tech needs to actually see the television in order to give you a halfway accurate guess about the repair cost. -- Best Regards, Daniel Sofie Electronics Supply & Repair ----------------------------- "Rodger and Linda" wrote in message om...
