Same green line issue for me. Tried the above and it didn't work. Unplugged everything, tried new cables etc., verified I had the latest software and still no joy. Called Philips and of course they were clueless (Do you have a 1080p TV?) and unhelpful other than to steer me to service centers that when asked wouldn't service this device. If anyone actually solved this problem please post how you did it.

Tried this approach to get a good sync and no go. Philips is clueless on this issue. Support had never heard of it. I've tried two different Philips Soundbars and get the exact same problems.If anyone ever fixes this I'd love to hear it.

Did you ever have any luck the green line issue? I have the exact same issue with the Soundbar I just purchased. At 1080i it looks fine, but at 1080p to my 1080p Toshiba 42" Regza I get green lines.

The problem is with the HDMI protection system. Next time turn off both tv and soundbar the turn tv on first then the soundbar. The issue is what they call a handshake problem between tv and soundbar. Good Luck

I am also experiencing the "green lines" in 1080p. It looks good in 1080i. I called Philips support and the rep was trying to convince me that my Samsung LN40A550 LCD was not 1080p and I should call Samsung to see why I am seeing green lines. I was also very surprised when they said nobody has ever reported this issue. He had me upload the latest firmware but my unit already had the latest. I tried anyways and it didn't do anything.Anybody solved this problem yet?

Isnt that a shame? so you're saying that it will look grainy on any blue ray player? I wouldve thought any encoding problem wouldve been fixed by now, i mean 300 just came out on blue ray.Do stores offer refunds or something? Have you tried a different blue ray? or a different TV? Im going to take mine to my friends house and test it on his LCD TV.thxThank you.

I have a Magnavox MDV456 DVD player... it's about 3 years old and uses Progressive Scan. The pictures quality is very good, but it says it uses only 480p resolution. Is this the maximum for this DVD player or can I change the settings around on the Toshiba?

JV - Thanks a lot! I could not figure out why my dvds wouldn't play on other dvd players. There is nothing to clue you in that you need to finalize them.

I'm using game mode as well for gaming & it looks good, had to tweak the color saturation some though. I will be trying standard on my blu-ray input hopefully in the next few days, im hoping it works. I thought i had tried that but i honestly dont remember now if i did or not. Thanks for your input on your experience. I would have sent it back by now if I had not run across this post.

Nguyen,Thanks for the reply. According to the manual on page 7 of the Connections section the component connection supports outputs of 480p, 720p, and 1080i. But on page 22 under Component Video Resolution it says:Even if you select "720p" or "1080i", images are output in 480p when you play DVD-Video.To me this means that if I play a Blu-ray disk (BD-Video) I will get 1080i on my Sony KF60WE610 (as long as the disk does not prohibit it). But if I play a regular DVD (DVD-Video) I will only get 480p. The CNET review of the player seems to confirm this information.If you have any additional information that refutes this conclusion please let me know. Thanks again for your input.

Update: Watched a dvd last night (the same dvd I first tried) and the picture was perfect - even using HDMI 1080p setting! This time I chose "Anynet HDMI DVD" from the source list on my tv settings, which I don't remember being an option before. I previously chose "DVI". I wonder if that made the difference. Hmm. Anyway....glad my dvd's now look just as great as the HD channels. Thank you for responding C.Woodruff. :)LadyR

Does this DVD allow older 4:3 content on disks to be displayed on my HDTV in original 4:3? I saw a post on a LG DVD that forces all 4:3 content to be stretched to 16:9, and I loathe that distortion. Any experience with other upconverting DVDs?

Yes i tried both ways....i first burned it as a data disc and i also tried creating AVCHD DVD....in both cases i saw that PS3 audio is choppy in 1080p mode.....1080i doesnt seem to have any issues. The video camera itself plays the 1080p with no issues when connected directly to my HDTV....is this an issue with my PS3 ? has anyone tried this ?

I had same problem 3 times during first year with vertical lines and tv constantly reboot. If you have same issues this means your tv broke and need to be fixed. Register tv with samsung and schedule the technicians for repair. If it was sold by amazon you have warranty if not you may not have it. If you tv more than 50 inches tech will fix it at your home. Good luck

I just set up this DVD player tonight using an HDMI cable and the picture on my 52" HDTV was also quite grainy. I changed the setting on the dvd player from 1080p (auto) to 480 and that works much better. For now I'll keep this setting until I can figure out why the HDMI setting isn't working.(Update in a new post dated 12/27/08)

Hi Leslie, I believe all DVD players are 720p, not HD - to get HD from recorded media you need to be into blu-ray - which this TV does not do. I personally like the softer tones from DVD/720p - when you get that high quality picture - very few people look good, IMHO.

LadyR,Try several DVD's. It may be that the discs you're playing are the problem. It seems to me that if there's not enough info on the disc, when it upgrades the picture it fills in the blanks with "noise", which makes the pic look grainy. Just a hunch, but most of my discs look great with no adjustment now.

Did You ever get an answer on this. I have the same deal, including 4:3 aspect DVDs which are stretched to what I call "fatscreen". I have fussed with everything imaginable. If you have an answer, please email me at <michael.steeno@us.army.mil>

I have had no problems with the DVD Player on this TV. However, I do know that if you insert the DVD into the TV's DVD slot incorrectly it will be rejected and the "no Disc" message appears.A DVD has to be inserted with the shiny silver side facing forward toward the TV screen, that means that the label on the DVD is facing away from you. Also be sure you are not using a Blu-ray Disc as this type is not supported by the TV's DVD Player. I am assuming that you have tried several different DVD discs and all were rejected. I am also assuming that these DVD's are originals and not copies. For if they are copies they may have been copied using the wrong format. I have had no problems with the DVD Player on this TV.

I have had my system for a year come the end of September. I use it for CaTV (1080P), Home Theater (1080 again), BluRay, DVD and several smart TV functions like Netflix and Amazon prime video, plus screen sharing from Android over WiFi. In other words it is getting a good workout. I do no have green dots, nor dots of any kind. What I would check first is the cabling. A lot of times, video noise (think VGA or SVGA here as an example) can be caused by cables that have become kinked or severely twisted, are picking up noise from adjacent power sources, or by a connector that may have damaged the HDMI receptacle. Even if you have to run a new cable over the floor to see if that is the problem (don't pull it into the same space as the existing cable just yet) between the video source and the TV. Before doing that, try Netflix or something that doesn't use the cables in question. If that is OK, look to your cables for the problem... I really hope that helps!
