I'm going to try this thread again for I think I confused people with my last one on this issue since its hard to explain.At times when I'm watching input 4 with sd cable through my VCR I will switch over to input 2 to turn on my DVD player and it doesnt load up properly.Once a green stripe was all that showed up on screen and in that little stripe I saw the Reading display that the Panny xp50 displays on screen as it starts.At other times only an orange stripe appeared and once just a blue stripe showed up.It was as if only one of the three components was working.On all occasions I shut everything off and restarted the plasma and DVD player and everything was normal.
Another weird part of this is when I start my DVD player in input 2 but have another input on screen and don't watch the player load up on screen and then switch over to input 2 the DVD display is on screen and it is fine.
I checked out my monster component cable which is three years old and always worked fine and everything was tight into the BNC and the xp-50 inputs.Since the player works fine once its loaded up I don't think its the player.The only thing I can figure it has something to do with the DVD player being in the standby mode when I shut it off and the Plasma being in the same mode.Maybe it has something to do with the VCR being on after I switch to input 2 to put on the DVD player and that causes a power conflict with the plasma?My plasma and DVD are plugged into different surge protectors and different outlets so i don't think electrical power is the problem
Since starting the DVD player and plasma together through my macro button on my universal remote seems to avoid the problem I'm not going to worry about this. Anyone have the answer to this puzzle? Thanks for the help Matt
