RGB Picture Problems with chipped Tosh 220E - please help!!!

Hi,

I`ve recently purchased a chipped Tosh 220E from Multiregionmagic. I have been happy with the player so far - until tonight. The player is connected to a Thomson WS TV, outputting RGB to a compatible socket on the telly.

I sat down to watch my R1 copy of the Collectors Edition of `Cuckoos Nest` Every so often during the film there were dark horizontal streaks showing up on screen. They would flicker and then disappear. When I replayed the disc they appeared at the same point each time.

I thought it was the disc so I changed to another R1 disc and the problem showed up with it too. I changed to a R2 disc and the streaks disappeared.

I returned to the R1 disc and tried changing scart cables but to no avail. However when I changed the output of the player from RGB to standard video the problem disappeared.

Has anyone experienced similar problems? I`d like to stick with RGB - the improvement in picture quality is huge.
