Make sure you are using componit vidio cables and connect them properly Also If your d.v.d. player has a h.d.m.i. port try that hook up also if you use h.d.m.i. make sure you set your player to 1080I I had the same problem as you using players with componit vidio output I tried 3 sets and they all looked terrible then I bought a DENON 2910 player with h.d.m.i. output and the picture quality is stunning but when you get your new blue ray or h-d player it will have the h.d.m.i. port make sure you use it good luck and please post and let us know what the problem was steweeeeeeeee
