I do have another DVD player I can try, I may have to do this. I'm just being lazy 'cos I don't want to have to pull everything out again

Ya damn lazy bastage!!!

ROFLMFAO

Jason, good luck on tracking the issue down. Possibly an issue with output choice that never showed up before you went with component over composite?!

I and not making fun of you (I know you know that), I was poking myself in the side. Had the DVR replaced 3 weeks ago, the champs putting new one in assured me everything hooked back up right. Have to call Bull dung on that!!!! DVR works with TV, Stereo, DVD and VCR now all fail to function thru or with TV. makes me wanna I've put task of pulling it all out and re-wiring everything for three weeks. Not going to last much longer.

I do suspect, though, that you will beat me to the punch!!

You just motivated me to get off my lazy butt and try something. Just ran an S-Video cable from my DVD to the amp, problem gone.

It seems to me that older DVDs have an issue with Component out, although I find this hard to believe.

This is kind of frustrating because I can watch some movies via Component out and others via S-Video (or Composite) which means I have to change the settings of my amp DVD input depending on what I want to watch

DVD Component via amp has problem.
DVD S-Video via amp works good.
DVD Component out of DVD direct to TV works good.
Tried another DVD player, Component out to amp, same problem.

Not looking good for the new amp.

Jason, just for shits'n'giggles you could try eliminating the HDMI cable from the equation. HDMI has alot of handshaking and a few copy-protection issues.
There should be a component out on your receiver that you can run a cable from COMP OUT to COMP IN on your TV. Then try hooking the DVD player via composite cables into the receiver and see if the picture continues to jump.

Thanks for the tip, however I have solved the problem now. I was fumbling through the menu on the DVD player and found Progressive Scan was off, so I put it to on and no more problem

Weird how it was only effecting some DVDs though

Glad to see you got it solved. And Yes, you did beat me to repairs. I haven't thought about it, to be exact!
