Fading problem with DVD players
You should all be aware that any DVD player that is hooked up to a TV through a VCR will experience fading in and out of the video signal. This is NOT a problem with the set, it is due to the Macrovision copy protection scheme that every DVD player sold in the US is required to have. It prevents copying of DVD discs to tape.. If you connect the player directly to the TV, the problem will be eliminated. You may need to buy an RF converter (try Radio Shack) if you have an older TV without a video RCA jack.<br />I have seen many reviews criticising DVD players for this &quot;problem&quot;, and surprisingly sales staff seem to make no mention of this either at the time of the sale, or when the &quot;defective unit&quot; is returned!
