Help! Problems with new DVD player and TV!

Can anyone advise on what might be causing the following two problems?
1. When I play a DVD using the component video cables, I occasionally get some horizontal lines of a pinkish hue. They come and go, with the picture otherwise looking great. No problem when I use the S-Video connection. I replaced the component video cables and no difference. Since the equipment is a brand new Sony S7700 and brand new Wega 32XBR, I'm not willing to just go with the S Video cable and forget it. The dealer, Tweeter, will let me swap the DVD player next. If that doesn't work, then I guess it's the TV. Sheesh. Any suggestions?
2. I also have noticed, both with DVDs and VHS tapes, that the black bars on the top and bottom of a letter box movie are not perfectly horizontal, but slope a bit down from right to left. Not radically so, but noticably. Any way to adjust this, or is the TV shot? Gadzooks this is all very frustrating!
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise I guess I'm pushing Tweeter for a new DVD player and/or 175 pound T.V.!
