Plugging the yellow PS2 cable into the yellow video-in was correct as the yellow cable is the video one. S-video is an American alternative to the yellow cable but its not really used in Europe. The red & white cables are for Audio (one for the left speakers, one for the right) so I imagine plugging them into the S-Video input is what caused the problem. =(
To be honest the only S-Video connections I've ever seen look like this (

If the DVD player is valuable it might be worth getting it checked out at your local electronics repair shop, otherwise I'd try a few different DVDs and if none of them work I'd junk it. Sorry!
