Drunken owner of DVD player managed to go into the set-up and change language to German and NTSC for the UK (English and PAL)
Not only that but full brightness and minimum contrast With a B&W image now on a UK TV, only line-locked, and about 3 overlayed images so could not distinguish the yellow highlight on the set up screen.
Other than turning TV to full contrast and low brightness which only just showed a vague difference between yellow and white, any other tips for the next time someone turns up with such a "repair" ?
