So I just plunked down $70 on a new Sony dvd player (my current Sony is dying) yesterday after trying out different budget models. For some reason, the Samsung displayed a red Macrovision screen when I connected the component cables directly to my HDTV. There seemed to be the same problem with a Philips player. I tried a JVC as well. Like my Sony, It worked fine, but would not play dvd+r, which is a problem because I have a good deal of +r discs. Is the Macrovision problem in my tv, or cheaper players? There are alot of things I liked about the Samsung model. It seemed to have disc compatability and great features. Not to mention it was clearanced at Radio Shack at half the price of the Sony. I haven't opened the Sony yet. Has anyone ever experienced this Macrovision problem with component connections?
