"wavering lines" on all dvds played?
Does anyone know what is causing those "wavering lines" which appears on every dvd I own (some worse than others). I do not have a Hdtv, just a 2 yr old sony wega 32" and a brand new sony dvd/vcr combo. I am talking about the image having wavering lines which are obvious in scenes with blinds or a striped tie and camera movement makes it more obvious. Do I have a cable problem or do I just have a lousy system. Dvd player is connected to tv via component video cable ($20 G.E. - I know, not the best around) I am a novice at this but I thought images from dvds are supposed to be picture perfect.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Found your problem--Sony dvd/vcr combo. Why?????
Anyway, it is probably the non-hd tv. Using progressive scan mode will eliminate most of that edge problem. But you need a prog. dvd player and a tv that can display it.
Best bet is to watch movies with no stripes. And avoid combo units. They are simply inferior in quality/reliability.

It sounds like moire from the stripes or diagonal lines from the blinds clashing with the dot pattern of your screen. Short of having a HDTV or digital TV capable of a progressive mode you really can't do anything about it.
