Alright so I founded out that the A/V Inputs on the TV when connected into these inputs, the picture comes up distorted and "jumpy" with green horizontal lines flickering all over the place. I tired out both connections, the one on the side and on the back on the TV and both have the same effect. Although, when I bring up the Menu, it's not affected by this, it shows up clean. I've experimented with different simple approaches that I thought were causing this:
1.) I have tired different A/V cables thinking it was just a simple cable issue, but unfortunately no, it's not just a simple malfunctioning cable.
2.) Connected XBOX360 in A/V Mode to see if the problem still persisted and yes it does, although it's not AS bad when it's connected to my digital converter box (default source)
3.) Connected XBOX360 in "Component 1" which is with the Green/Blue/Red connectors, and found out that when it's connected in this mode the picture is clear, no distortion nor green lines.
Was happy to find out that it was find in the "Component 1" mode because I was thinking hmm it might not be the DMD, but I'm not sure. Also the Audio if not effected what so ever, it's perfect it whatever input it's on. So yeah guys and gals I'm stuck, not sure what the issue is. Plus I'm a noob at this whole DLP TV stuff, a roomie actually gave me this TV because it needed a LAMP replacement which I still need to buy it. It was working fine till one day I turned it on and the green lines showed up which is why I've been holding back on buying the Lamp. I don't want to spend money on the Lamp and then find out that the TV is crap, which I'm SO hoping it's not the case *crosses fingers*.
So Please, please, PLEASE! Any help would be awesomely appreciated! Thanks everybody! And Happy Valentines Day!
