I've noticed that whenever I play region 1 dvd on my player I see shadows whenever some one moves around on screen. Can any one suggest what the problem is? region 2 are fine and normal tv is fine aswell.
not the tv then... an old Matsui multi-region. Matsui is Dixon's own make right? So presumably you've had an after-market mod to make it multi-region... that could be where your problem lies... am I right and if so contact the peeps that did your mod.
Its a handset hack, i never really noticed it until lately after i got my tv, and its not just the new discs, it also happens on the old ones that i tried
I think you're noticing the weaknesses of your player since you've got your new TV... might be time for an upgrade... don't worry it's not too painful a Tosh or Pioneer will set you back less than 200 notes and will go loverly with your new TV.
snip pin19 at the TV end of the scart lead it may be 50Hz/60Hz interaction on the composite output from the TV. Also try selecting a dead channel on the RF tuner stage of the Tv before you turn on the dvd player. there may be some crosstalk internally to the set.
Might your Sony be a 100Hz set which can play havoc with DVD pictures. If it is set I suggest turning it off, permanently. I have never seen a good 100Hz picture.
