Wobbly blurry wavy image - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

This is not a manifestation of MacroVision.

This looks like a VHS video tracking problem, but, as this is DVD, it's obviously something else.

Has anyone encountered this glitch, and if you solved it, how did you do it?

My DVD player is a "Sony CD/DVD Player," model DVP-C660.

Welcome to the forum Craig!

What kind of video connection are you using? Have you tried a different cable and/or a different type of connetion?

My options are a bit limited. The only thing I could do, short of buying a new TV, would be to use a better grade of cable. How much would that help?

My TV does not have one those up-to-date sockets (can't remember the name right now), so I had to use a Video RF Modulator.

I have a digital cable converter box, a WhiteWestinghouse TV (WTV-11301-11901), a VCR (Magnavox VHS HQ VR2042At01), the DVD player mentioned above, and the Video RF Modulator all cabled together.

Is the image screwy if you hook up the player directly to the TV? DOes you rTV only have the composte (yellow RCA) connection?

Also, since this isn't a Glitch, I'm going to move it to Hardware.
