Help Video Problems

[acstech]

My JVC DVD player is hooked straight to my TV via Component cables and it works fine. If I hook up any other device to my TV with an s-video cable when I watch a DVD movie I get red flashes in the picture. I have tried switching out both the component cables and s-video cables. I have tried a different DVD player. I does not matter what is hooked up to my TV with the s-video cable it causes this a conflict with the component side of the TV. If I unplug the s-video cable it stops causing the problem immediately. I have tried changing everything out and no matter what if I use both the component and s-video cables I have this problem. It seems to be an issue with the TV. I made sure my DVD is set to 480I. I do not have this problem if I hook up my cable box with composite video cable. It’s not my cable box because it also does it if I hook up a second DVD player to the s-video cable. Has any one ever heard of this and if it is the TV is that going to be a major repair. The TV is less the 2 years old.

Are any of the video inputs on the tv shared? There may be composite, s-video, and component inputs that are all labeled 'video 1'. You cannot connect two different formats to the same video input at the same time on most tvs. That would explain the problem with the cable box if it too is connected to video 1, as it is always sending video.

I don't think so.

No my component is separate from video 1. My s-video is on Video 1 and so is a composite hook up. I have a separate input for component. With my DVD player plug in with a component cable and any device plug in with an s-video cable I have this problem. I took my cable box and plugged it in with a composite cable which is also on video 1 and I have no problem. I am at a complete loss. I think it might be a problem with the TV.
