faint red bands on edtv with prog scan dvd

[timhoenig]

Thanks in advance for any troubleshooting help on this topic.

I recently switched to a prog scan dvd player (Sony DAV-FX10) - hooked up with component video to Panasonic EDTV (TH-42PWD6UY). I used monster cable from the tv coupled to radioshack gold component video cables to the dvd player and noticed these faint red bands (approx 4 or 5, approx .10 inch thick) running horizontally across the screen. The bands were static, faint, and up close appeared to be flickering red dots on the screen - the bands are easily noticed when the picture fades to black. I removed the couplers and ran the monster cable directly from tv to player and still noticed the bands. I tried my older dvd player (not prog scan)with the cables (coupled and uncoupled) and noticed no bands. I then switched the video output of the prog scan dvd player to interlaced and bands disappeared. According to Panasonic tech help - tv is prog scan compatable, so where are these red bands coming from?
