Hi,
Please help me with my infernal problem as i have wasted a great deal of scheckels phoning Toshiba tech help to no avail (i think i knew more than the guy at the other end and my knowledge is scanty at best).
I have a region-free modded Tosh SD520 dvd player (does ntsc prog scan); just (today) had delivered Tosh 36ZP38 Picture Frame 2 tv (does pal+ Ntsc prog scan).
Now sorry to belong-winded: connected dvd player to tv EXACTLY as specified in manuals (components etc, set little switch at rear of player to "p" for prog etc). Set dvd player to progressive (playing ntsc discs):
Result: an admittedly very nice picture marred by wavy interference lines all over it (nothing to do with playback, lines continue with their provocative gesturing even when paused).
Tosh tech help perversely can't help: suggested everything in the manual then sending tv back.
PLEASE HELP: I'll mother your children for you. Is it a problem with my tv? Or my player (could the region-free modding have mucked up the prog-scan)? I have tried every possible combination of picture modes and cable swaps.
has anyone else had this problem?
Also, the tv refuses to give me an ntsc picture in rgb mode off my 520 (tho it'll give me one off my sd230): does it know that my player is chipped and hence is stopping picture display (i get sound, but just a blank blue screen)? Or is my 520 just sodded? (hope not, cos it's just gone out of warranty.
PLEASEpleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease help poor befuddled me.
regards,
anephric
