JVC XV-FA95GD Progressive-Scan 7-Disc DVD Player, Gold
video cut out on s-video, interlaced playback
similar to the problem described by another poster with video cutout during component playback. my player cuts out on s-video playback at nearly every new chapter and in scenes of visual or audio intensity. He said his did not cut out on s-video interlaced playback, while mine does. Mine does not cut out on composite playback. I do not have component inputs to test. Problem occured in two of four movies watched, both chinese language films with english subtitles. One was a brand new superbit version of crouching tiger hidden dragon, the other Farewell My Concubine. Two English language films were fine.<br />Playback of the two problematic films was fine when playedback from the dvd player on my laptop through the same s-video cable into the same s-video input on my TV. So it definately seems like the JVC player has the problem. I'm assuming its a defective machine and not a wide problem.
