SCAN 2000 - Whites too bright...whites look "Smeared"

madmadra (Harmless) posted this on Tuesday, 6th February 2001, 22:36

I had posted this in the GENERAL section over a week ago so I think its better i the Hardware section...
......Just got my Scan (my first DVD) over a week ago. All is fine except for the white in the picture can be to bright giving ghost pictures and overflowing into other images. White writing on a black background (as in credits) looks very smeared.Sometimes in very dark areas pixellation is very obvious. Is this common to all machines or just this brand? This machine is one that was delivered just a week and a half ago. Is there a cure for this or do I just have to get used to it. Any help appreciated.
.....Since this was originally posted I`ve tried it on another TV but the results are the same. The connection is phono (DVD) to Scart(TV) it wont work Scart to Scart on either TV (the result is abominable ..just some ghost apparitions on a black screen in RGB or Composite mode..but that`s another issue.)
Thanks, Paul.

My Scan tends to pause for a sec at various points during playback of a dvd. I think it might be when it changes layers. Will a firmware upgrade fix this??? I`ve got 2.06
