I have my dvd player hooked up to my tv via component cables and I've tried both tv compoent slots 1 and 2, and 2 separate dvd players, but the picture is always blue or black/white. I don't have this problem with regular red, white, yellow audio video cables. I'm assuming it is the new cables I bought, but however if anyone has an explanation or has experienced this, please let me know.
thanks.

The connections are connected. Remember, I have 2 separate sets of component cables, each of which has been detached and reattached multiple times, and tried with 2 different dvd players. I'm getting the same result.
None of our players would output correctly till I found the setup menu and set it to output component video.
On all DVD players I've owned, I needed to go into the menu and choose the output to be component. The same applied to setting the DVD player to output to Progressive Scan, which not all TVs display, but on those that do, you also need to get into the menu and choose that option to use that output option.
