Everything you've said points to a problem with the DVD player. But, just to be sure, try a diiferent souce plugged into the DVD inputs on your receiver preferrably digital like Satelite TV or at least a VCR. Swap out cables if you have extra or just use some temporarily from another source. How are you connected ie video? 75 ohm coax or toslink? If 75 ohm are you sure that you are using a video cable and not an audio cable? Try the above just to be sure but I really think that you'll have to replace the DVD. Have you ever run your hand over the top of the DVD player to feel for heat? If so then do it again. Is it a lot hotter than it used to be? This could indicate a bad power supply.
Good Luck,
Bob
