Video Playback / Recording Devices

Can anyone tell me if there is any way to fix this problem? My VCR is working fine except for two things. One is a squeek it makes when you first start playing a tape, and the other problem is, you can play with the tracking and watch a video clearly in black and white (for some odd reason the colors disappear) but if you continue to hit the tracking button you end up with mostly a blue and red picture (and a little green.) Is it dead? Do I need a new one, or is it fixable? It's set to run through our stereo tuner on Video 2 input.

I just bought a Panasonic DVD F86 five-disc DVD player. It displays the standard blue/black DVD Rom logo on the monitor when the discs are being changed (and when playback is stopped, etc.).

Does anyone know if/how I can change this image? It sounds finnicky, I know, but I would prefer it to be just black (no logo) for this multi-disc presentation I'm putting together.

Any suggestions appreciated!

It is probably USER ERROR - but---- I have an inexpensive DVD player ( Protron 2.1 progressive scan I think.)

I just bought a DVD. On the menu there are many selctions. It plays some and not the others.

I tried same DVD on my old MAC and it plays fine. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks....
