Page 1 of Interference on DVD picture

I have just setup my old Tosh 28W8DB TV and Tosh 210E DVD player for my parents. When I had them I had no problems, but my dear old Ma & Pa are getting picture interference on the DVD picture.

There is no interference on any TV channel or the VCR, they are all fine, but when you play any DVD, you can see an "embossed" version of a TV picture scrolling behind the main picture.

I have tried unplugging all aerial cables etc, but it still happens. Is it just that they live in an area with such a strong TV signal it is bleeding into the DVD player or scart lead somehow?

Any help appreciated.

try putting the channel on 0 before putting the dvd on and see if that makes any difference. or if you have component conections on the TV try that as it should be a stronger signal.

Basically, it`s caused by signal loopback through the SCART lead. Try cutting the wire leading to pin 19 in the plug at the TV end of the cable - that will totally eliminate the problem. (The TV outputs the signal from its tuner on SCART pin 19, even when an external input is selected.)
