Some of you may know that I am in the process of putting together my first HT system. I've been told numerous times by AVS members that component video wires are FAR superior than the yellow composite wire.
So, I purchased a handful of component video wires from Monoprice.com.
After getting the wires, I hooked up the DVD directly to the TV via component wires. What happens? I get WORSE quality picture!
I see a band of rainbow like colors going across the screen! I thought maybe it was a bad wire, so I tested another set of wires, and same thing!
When I plug in the single yellow composite wire, everything is good! What's going on?
TV is a Sony Wega that's 5 years old
DVD is a Panasonic that's 5 years old
Receiver is a Harman Kardon AVR635 (but the video wires go directly from DVD to TV).
