For about 5–7 minutes after switching on, DVD picture turns monochrome
instead of colour. Switching off, waiting a couple of minutes, restores
colour but only for a similar short time.
Kept watching the B/W picture tonight for while, and suddenly colour
returned - really crisp, good picture - but every so often it kept
switching between colour/monochrome and back again.

Not a head problem, I think, as the DVD screen is b/w even without a
disc present.

These symptoms are recent - till a couple of weeks ago all worked
perfectly. Video and all TV channels are absolutely fine.
Maybe related: Quite often TV doesn't "recognise" AV2 (video/dvd scart
conn to TV SCART) only TV and AV1, till another cold start. Could this
somehow be causing the monochrome problem? (SCARTS are properly fitted
and hav checked this repeatedly).

TIA for any advice (other than "scrap it and buy a new one"!)
