I have an apex ad1010w dvd player and when I hook it up to my UN32J400DAF Samsung tv I with the red, white and yellow rca jacks I only get a black and white picture. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

Many TVs have a shared composite and component video input. When you connect a yellow video cable and the input is set to component you get a black and white picture. Go into the TV menu and change the input to composite.
