I posted this 2 days ago but it seems to have disappeared.

I have a client where i installed a LG BD390 blu-ray. I am getting what appears to be ground loop lines. Sometimes they roll, sometimes not. I disconnected all devices, replaced all cables, changed players, connected BD390 direct to fuji plasma with else out undone and still the problem. all connections via component.

wierd thing is this. no lines on the menue or on streaming things. when a scene starts the lines are not there then slowly show up. when the player switches scenes, they immediately disappear then slowly come back.

any ideas wtf is up? i cant believe 2 bad players in a row. the players i have were just delivered to my disti last friday and where immediately shipped to me so they are fresh off the boat and have current firmware.

If it's not constant then it has to be the player. Kind of sounds like bad capacitors. Have you tried another player altogether?

I mean a *completely* different player, not another of the same model from the same batch. :-)

UPDATE

I tested the second unit with several disks and here are my findings

BluRay - picture perfect
Anitmated DVD (Pixar) - perfect
Film based DVD - lines

I used about 8 disks.

I replaced this unit with a LG BD570 and all is fine.

All I can figure is there is some issue between the Fuji and the player with 3:2 pulldown. Who knows.

I brought the other player home and I'll test it here on a few setups. The original was fine on my Samsung 26" tv I use as a computer monitor

Bizarre. But I guess as things get more complicated but also cheaper, we can expect occasional oddness like this.

another update.

i installed the 'defective' players on brand new model TVs. One from Mits, two from LG. All worked 100%.

Players did not work on older sets (about 3 years) from Fujitsu , Samsung and Vizio.

Who knows WTF the problem was. Real pain in the A$$ though
