Green Video on component HD connection

[roopeshtambat]

Greetings,

I have a 29" Matchline CRT which is 8 years old. When I connect to AV3 or AV4 (compatible 1080 component interfaces), and switch progressive scan to "on" mode on my DVD player, the whole video goes green. I can pull out the "b" (blue) component cable, and still the video is same green. But when I connect to AV1 and AV2 with the same component cable and turn on interlace on DVD player, the video is fine. I have tried different component cables too and it is not a faulty cable. Any help is appreciated. Also, support for this TV is very limited where I live.

Thank you for your replies,

Hi Roopeshtambat.

Could you please provide me with the full model number of your TV?
Make sure your DVD player is set to 1080i output and not 1080p.

Thank you for your reply. The model is 29pt9420. Yes I am using 1080i (same as earlier, was working like a charm).

Thanks again,

Hi Roopesh.

Please see the note i found in the manual recarding HD equipment like DVD players:
"When you have a digital equipment with a 480p or 1080i output (e.g. a digital Set Top Box or Progressive DVD player), connect it to the AV3 or V4 IN VIDEO2 Fh 480p/1080i input."

Meaning if your DVD is set to progressive scan this also changes the resolution to 1080p and as the TV supports 1080i and not p this can be the reason why it changes colour when putting progressive scan on.

P after the resolution (numbers) stands for Progressive and i stands for interlace.

If you want to use progressive scan, try 720p

You can find more information regarding this on page 21 in the manual
