I am finally able to see the replies to my post (posted twice because I thought the first didn't make it). First, thankyou to all that replied, especially about the usenet being screwed up. Now I know it's not my account or computer. Anyway, yes, I had the DVD player connected through my VCR. I bought an Orion TV a few years ago (yes, it's a peice of garbage but it works), and it only has one set of RCA inputs. Currently these are being used by my sattelite receiver. I disconnected this and routed the DVD player straight to the TV as suggested, and what do you know - it works perfectly. I don't quite understand the macrovision issue being a cause to the problem. I could somewhat understand the digital to analog having an effect. Well, I must say I feel like an idiot for not even thinking about this as being a cause. I had to look to see if this is how I hooked it up! Thanks for the replies and as usual the problem was pointed out. Now I like my Sony DVD player! Thankyou!
