I have noticed that, on many DVD's, when there is unatural light (like in a tent in Gladiator or indoor lighting as in many other movies)and the camera pans, I sometimes see shadowy type bars/lines appear and move momentarily up or down the screen. They seem to be formed by an object in the movie that is in dark contrast to the background however they are not true shadows. They are not very noticable because they are not on the screen long and you can easily see through them, however, they are there. I did take my DVD player to Tweeter and connected it to a Pioneer Elite Projection Set and the Shadows were not there. When I place the DVD player in interlace mode they do not exist, only in Progressice Scan. Has anybody else noticed this artifact with this combination or have any ideas why I am getting these artifacts.

You may be experiencing banding which occurs on some Sony HDTV sets - but since your description of bars/lines is not too specific, I'm not sure. There is a service menu item in the set you can change to minimize it, if you know how to get into it. There is much information about this subject at the Yahoo Groups Sony HDTV forums. You should do a search on banding and get many results.
That's due to the chroma-sampling bug that is present in MOST de-interlacer chips used by all the major brands.
I don't have this with the 9000 on my Toshiba 40H80. This would seem to disprove your little theory.
Also, Why does it not occur in Interlace mode???KM
If that is true, why did I not see the same type of artificat when my 9000 is tied to the Pioneer Elite projection TV? What is the difference?KM
