Help! My cheap DVD player is showing everything with a red mist or green mist. Has my 2yr old done something to the controls or should I just take it back to the shop?
 
How is the player connected to the TV? Might be a dodgy cable/connector. Has it happened all of a sudden or is it a new player?

Just a guess, but you aren't by any chance connecting the DVD to a video and then onto your TV, by any chance, because you only have one SCART?

If you do, the Macrovision anti-copy feature will kick in, causing this or other visual effects. You should connect the cable (or digibox) into the video player and use a different SCART or other connection for the DVD player. Or else buy a SCART switcher.
