I have Sony CX-D850 (200 DVDs changer) and I found a problem with it.
I connect it with scart (RGB) directly to TV.
Recently, I wanted to use S-video outputs so I can use AV amp for switching source, and also I could move it somewhere else (node 0) and use KAT5.
However, I found that some movies, when played are displayed as B&W on TV. Further investigation showed that it happens with Region 0 (BBC's "The Blue Planet") and Region 1 movies only.
I think that it must be something with chip for removing regional restrictions.
Do you think that I can do anything about it?
With RGB, all the movies are reproduced fine.
Cheers,
Nik

This is how I do it...

...but using the Sony 300 Disc player.

You can have one KAT5 transmitter feeding multiple KAT5 receivers you
know...
