Re: Component video problem......kotches?

1) Have you tried changing around which physical cable hits which input, ie swap red and green cables at both the DVD player and the TV.

So: Y - Red Cable, Pr - Green Cable, Pb - Blue Cable

This will determine whether the problem is with the red colored cable or not. You should lose picture if the Red colored cable is defective, or at least have a seriously screwed up one -- given that Y carries brightness information + sync.

If it is, you will need to replace the Red cable.

OTOH, if the Red input is screwed up, it is either the DVD player or the TV set.

2) Use a 2nd DVD player to test progressive out. If the problem goes away with known good cabling, you know the player is at fault.

3) If the problem still exists, it is the TV.
