blue moviesWhy is my dvd player turning my movies blue?

Our phillips dvd player is suddenly turning the movies we play a blue tinge. Last night when we put in a movie, any movie everything was blue. It was like watching smurfs in a movie and nothing we tried fixed it.
Video, even today, is STILL basically a black and white image with color added over it. (That's what NTSC and PAL meablue moviesn.) The color information has be decoded and applied properly to the correct video drive circuits. If something is going wrong in the color decoder, then it's no longer properly viewable. Nothing you can do about it. Take it in to be repaired or simply replace it.

One thing I've seen people do that will cause problems for Dblue moviesVD players is to block the ventilation holes in the cabinet. All it takes is to impede normal air flow, not necessarily block it completely, and the heat buildup of the circuits will start to cause problems. In some cases, restoring proper ventilation will cure the problem, in other case, the damage is permanent.
