I recently purchased a Malata DVP-520, and am extremely happy with it except for one glaring problem: the output is too red. I'm not talking just a little bit; it's extremely noticable.
Before receiving the Malata, I calibrated my TV with AVIA using a Toshiba 3109 connected via component; using the color bars and the decoder check, I could get it nearly perfect.
When I plugged in the Malata via the same component cables, though, the color was just horrid. I calibrated with AVIA using the Malata's hue and saturation controls, but I couldn't get it even close (didn't want to use the TV color controls, as my TV doesn't have separate settings for each input): if I got the color bars set up correctly, the red was way off the scale on the decoder check (something like +25). To bring the red down to an acceptable level, I had to crank saturation down to below 130, which of course throws the blue and the green way off.
Has anybody else noticed a similar problem with their Malata, or did I just get a bum unit? I tried searching for a similar problem, but couldn't find anything.
