Hey Rich,

I'm not sure what you mean by four different TVs and DVD players. So far I have used one DVD player only, with two TVs (my old Mitsubishi and the new Sony Wega). I have only noticed the problem with the off-colored lines with the component video cables hooked up to the Sony (the Mitsubishi had S Video only). I have tried two sets of cables (both Monster), and both were the same, so the problem is not in the cable. And yes, I did consider that I might not have hooked them up correctly, but I double checked it and they are all set up fine. The stripes come and go; otherwise everything looks great -- more realistic colors than with the S Video connection.

In any event, Tweeter is sending a technician out to my apartment on Thursday afternoon to, I hope, fix both problems. I'll let you guys know how this gets resolved so that you'll know if you ever experience it yourselves.

Best regards,

Josh
