Having a problem with my PLV-Z2 over component cable. The image is repeating 3x with colored bars separating each "image". This is only happening over the component connection. I tried to hook up and PS2 and a Toshiba DVD player also to the Component connections and the projector didn't even read those. I still use Component to connect my cable box and X360, but use DVI to hook up my computer. DVI and Composite connections both work great/fine. Here are a couple bad pictures from my cell phone to help show what I'm talking about...

And like I said, the image over the DVI looks just fine. No problems at all.

It has been awhile since I saw this problem on my old Z2, but as I recall, it has to do with the projector being in the "Auto" mode for detecting resolution.

Sometimes, when I switched devices that were outputting different resolutions, this would happen to me. The Z2 would become confused. All I did, was to go into the projector menu, and choose any other resolution besides 'Auto'. and then switch back. This seemed to kind of give the Z2 a swift kick in the ass... then all was well.
