I have the Denon 1600 dvd player and I'm using it for video and DVD-Audio.
I'm having a problem with my current home theater system and I believe the problem is on this player.
I'm using this player together with a Sony Str-DA5ES receiver and JVC AV-48WP30 tv.
The problem itself is some interference on the picture through my component outputs on the dvd player. You can see horizontal bands moving on the screen, similar to bad analog vhf reception. It's subtle but still annoying. It doesn't matter if I use progressive or interlaced setting.
After some intensive testing, I finally find out that as soon as I disconnect the 6 golden connector RCA cable (from Radio Shack) I'm using for DVD-Audio, the problem is gone!
So, it's clear that the DVD player is introducing some noise on the component outputs. Is that a design flaw on this player? Can any current owner of this player test this at home? The problem is very easy to see, when you press stop on the player and you have the blue screen. You can see some horizontal bands moving on the screen. As soon as you disconnect all 5.1 analog cables, the problem is gone. If you connect one of these cables(it doesn't matter which), the problem is back!
It's important to note, that the component cables are going straight to the TV, since I'm not using the component switch on the receiver. So, the signal noise is certainly being introduced on the dvd player. It maybe generated on the receiver, but it's going through the player.
Things I already tried:
- Different component cables. I thought the problem was on the TV. After playing with the DVD, I tried changing cables. It didn't work.
- I tried keeping the cables connected to the player and disconnect them from the receiver. Problem is gone.
I'm totally lost at the moment. If any owner can test this, it would be great. If you believe the problem is not on the player, I would like to know some testing that I can do to try to isolate the cause of the problem.
I'm open to suggestions on how to solve this!
Thanks
