Re: DVD player/TV contrast problem

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!

Bob
