strange Bad Color experience

Please forgive if this is a well-known problem, but I've searched the archives for a couple of hours without finding a solution.

Last night I watched "Dial M For Murder", a classic Hitchcock movie using a just-purchased Philips 963SA-->Pioneer 1014 HT reciever--> Philips HDTV (two years old, 34" flat screen tube, I can't remember the model number). Watching the progressive scan component video signal, I had bright blue faces... obviously wrong color. Watching the composite video signal straight to the TV gave normal color. I checked that all component video cables were in the correct jacks.

Looking at other movies (Matrix, Basic Instinct) in progressive scan component video, the color was normal (As above, the configuration was Philips 963SA--> Pioneer 1014 HT reciever--> Philips HDTV). I think the fact that these movies gave normal color rules out "bad gun", "bad cable", and other "bad equipment or wire" arguments.

Have I got some setup option wrong? Any ideas?

Many thanks,
Peter
