Tosh 220e and macrovision

[stan_toopee]

i've got a Richersounds Tosh 220e connected via Sony STRDB925 to a Pro-V and into a Panny AE100, the problem is a macrovision type effect while playing some discs ie Grease and BHD among others. Has anyone else encountered this problem??
My other players, namely a Reoc a5 (unreliable, freezing etc.) and a Pioneer DV515 (long in the tooth and doesn't play VCD/SVCD/MP3) don't have macrovision probs. The Pioneer is macrovision disabled anyway.
If i'm basically goosed can anyone suggest a machine that will play anything reasonably well, that doesn't cost the earth.
thanks in advance for any info.

why not get a set of cables to "remove" macrovision from the signal instead of shelling out on another player??

Some companies do a cable that "removes" the macrovision effect.
Did a quick search and found this

Never dealt with the company,never used one of these leads, done just to give you an idea

HAve a look at this thread, there's some cheaper options in there.
