Why is the brightness unstable or are there noises on playback pictures from my Apex Digital DVD Player?

The black and white picture may be caused by a damaged S connector (bent pin).
Why does the playback picture on my Apex Digital DVD Player have occasional distortion?
A small amount of picture distortion can occur due to poor video/sound transfer to the disc, especially on discs manufactured between 1997-1998. Another cause could be a scratched disc.
Why won't my Apex Digital DVD Player read or skips MP3 discs?
Reburn the disc, as the software edition used may not be compatible with the player. Use new editions of software such as Voyetra Audiostation 4, Adaptec’s “Easy CD Creator” or NTI, Roxio’s Toast Titanium, etc. Also, ensure that MP3 files are not encoded with a variable bit rate such as provided by Real Networks.
