I just purchased a Samsung DVD-611 for my teenage son for Christmas, but we both have noticed that when a rented disk is in a 4:3PS format, the contrast on his TV cycles and fluctuates (approx. every 10 seconds). We tried 16:9 format. No problem there; works like a charm. It does, however, become a problem when a disk comes preset in 4:3PS. He has his own surround set-up, although not high end equipment. Because of this, he runs the DVD through his A/V receiver, the video line from the receiver out to his VCR and from there to his TV (TV does not have direct a/v inputs). I definitely think this has "something" to do with it. I should note that we have tried this with another TV (again with no direct a/v inputs), with the same results. Is there anyone out there who might be able to diagnose our problem. Your feedback would be greatly welcomed.
Follow Ups:
Rio,What you could be experiencing is the MacroVision copy-protection on the DVD messing with the video levels. Many VCRs will not pass this signal, but some do.
The cheapest solution is to get yourself a RF Modulator from Radio Shack, about $30 for the mono version. With this box, you run the "F" coax out of the VCR and the RCA A/V out of the DVD into it and then "F" coax out to the TV. I've got one and my problems were instantly solved. The modulator worked great without any switching.
Good luck!

Pardner, your advice is much appreciated! I didn't even begin to have a clue as to what it might be. Thanks so much, and Happy Holidays!
