Pionner DV550 & Panasonic 28PL1 R1 Flicker Problem

BeadleMachine · 20-03-2003, 2:43 PM

Hello all,

Just found these forums and in need of some help.

I have a Pioneer DV550 hooked up to Panasonic TX28PL1 Widescreen TV.

Problem is when I watch any R1 DVD through RGB I get these weird flickering on the picture

very worrying.

when I watch the same film on R2 there is no such problem!

I have tried the DV550 in my friends SANYO TV and no problem, also tried watching R1 DVD on my XBOX through RGB on the panasonic and they came out fine.

Can anyone shed some light on this subject?? I was browsing some other posts earlier looking for answers and saw someone mention something about a similar issue being talked about in previous threads? anyone have a link?

Thanks again,

BeadleMachine

Hi,

I had the 28PL1, together with a Pioneer 444S & had the same problem (along with quite a few other problems). If you search under your TV model, you will find quite a few threads with info.

From what I remember, it seems there's a compatability issue between Panasonic TV's & Pioneer player's. May be corrected by using S Video.

beadle, check out my response on the following thread:

Interference on new tv...please help!

These is an issue with PF/PL pannys and RGB - should be correctable using the service menu as indicated

JasonJo - thanks a million for your links. Will try adjusting the service Menu DVCO tonight and see how it goes.

Fingers Crossed!

LemonHead - If all else fails I will take your advice and buy an s-video lead. I can always watch R2 in RGB and R1 in S-Video

Thanks again guys,

Just tried the Service menu settings last night,

When I went to edit the DVCO option it only seemed to move from 009 to 008 and no more.

I was watching a region 1 dvd at the time but this did not seem to remove the interferance.

Jason, on the links you posted I saw a mention of a PAL colour bar???

Is there a special DVD I used use when adjusting the Service menu settings? specifically DVCO? or should I be watching a R1 DVD with the interferance when I amke the changes?

Cheers,
