PAL UK PS3, R2 DVD.

Playing any DVD through the SCART connection results in a green wash
over the image. Games appear to be fine (well, based on a sample size of
1, 'Just Cause 2'). The cable is an old PS2->SCART lead, and sadly I
can't use a HDMI lead in this case, it has to be SCART due to the TV
being a bit old.

Is this intentional on Sony's part - some sort of copy protection? Or is
there just a setting I need to tweak?

Many thanks.

help you

Thanks for that - as you say, rather confused.

*Somewhere* I've got an old PS2 Composite lead and a SCART plug - I
might give that a try. It's only for a week so quality really isn't that
big of an issue.

certainly a weird thing. my old ps2 used to green out when it felt
like it, you just had to change channels and it would be back to
normal.
