apex 1200 problem with dark then regular video

Hey all I've had this dvd player for about a year now and it was a good dvd player up until now. I mean it played all formats and was a good buy for a cheap player. Yesterday I tried a dvd and at first I thought it was the dvd because the night before on a vcd it played fine. Anyhow what it does is goes shady kinda dark then goes regular and does this through out. It is really nerve racking and I'm not sure whats causing this. Can someone kinda help me figure this out so I don't have to buy a new player thanks.. Btw I tried another dvd and it does the same thing.

please someone?? need help

does this happen on all DVDs or just this one? is a burnt dvdr or pressed original? how does this bad dvd play on your computer?

I've tried 4 dvds now and they all do it, they are original bought dvds. They play fine on comp, and in other dvd players. Just started doing this? Any suggestions?

Sounds like Macrovision?

I know they are cheap, but I wanna figure out why all of a sudden this is doing this. what is macrovision and also why did it just start doing this. remember it's bought dvd's not burned

nm fixed the problem. I had the dvd player going through vcr and that was causing it not sure why its an old vcr.
