Hi Joe,

I did a little more experimenting with the inputs and found that the component jacks on "Input 2" seem to be the faulty ones. So I switched the TV to the better component "Input 1," and I don't seem to be having the problem.

I then switched the DVD player to S-Video (rather than component) on the suspect Input 2 and the problem seems solved with only a slight decrease in picture sharpness when watching a DVD. For now I can live with that.

What is also annoying is that Comcast's Motorola HD box only gives you the extra program information, volume adjustment and program Guide on the Component output. If you use the S-Video or the Composite output you have no On-Screen Menu. That is another reason I had to make sure that the Motorola Box was hooked up to the good component input.

I know I can hook the two component inputs to my HT receiver and then back to the good TV component input(switching them at the receiver instead of the TV) and I may do that in the future, but of course I'll need an extra component cable for that and my cable jungle will thicken. I think I will also call Hitachi and see if they have any helpful suggestions for getting that input working again.

Hey, thanks for all your insights and helpful suggestions.

Frank :)
