I have a Philips DVD 711, SW ver 7.22, I try to play purchased or home made VCD movies and they are in B/W and instead of a black bar on top and bottom, the whole picture is shifted to the bottom.

I have switched between PAL and NTSC with no diff. These same VCD's play fine on my mothers Pioneer (unknown model #) using the same type of connection (S-Video) and same make and model TV.

I have also tried to use RCA jack video input and another S-Video cable, still got same results.

I know this player can play (S)VCD's as many others are doing this, any help would be GREATLY appreiated.
