O.P. DVD Player Help
Okay, I've been having a problem with my DVD player, and I'm not exactly a technology whiz so I need some help.
I bought a region free DVD player, a Giec GK-3500. I got this because I want to be able to play DVD's from Europe (I'm in America). I hooked it up and put one of my disks in, but the image isn't right. There's actually two squished images that are the same with a vertical black bar inbetween them.
The manual said that if it's not on the correct TV setup, you could experience something called "black strip state." I'm assuming that's what this is. To fix it, you're supposed to change the TV setup to either Auto, PAL, or NTSC. It was originally on NTSC but the disk is PAL, so I changed it to that. However, when I did that I not only still had the black bar, it was also black and white and very jumpy. If I put it on auto it was the same thing.
I'm at a loss for what to do. I've gone through the whole manual and tried pressing all the buttons on the remote that might be useful, and nothing's worked.
