Question:
To all those using the video passthrough feature on their amp, does anyone else get digital noise/electrical interference on their screens when doing this?
With my previous setup I had my Gamecube and X-box using S-video passthrough via the Amp and would get some small vertical lines at the top right of the picture on my TV. I could live with these as they were fairly small and only noticable when certain colours were being displayed.
I've recently splashed out on a Panny PWD6 Plasma screen and decided to use Component video for the best possible picture, so now my Gamecube and X-box are connected via the Amp's Component passthrough.
However, now I am getting noticable banding running horizontally across the screen from the mid portion of the screen downwards, it's especially noticable when whites and blacks are on the screen. I've tried a direct YUV -> VGA connection to the plasma, and the picture is perfectly clean, so it's definately some kinda interferance when using passthough on the amp
Is this a common problem on Amps, would changing the amp possibly help? Maybe it's just a problem with the Pioneer VSX859-RDS? Anyone else got one of these and is using video switching? Or any amp with video switching? It's highly annoying as i've seen how nice a progressive scan picture can be but the interferance is ruining it a bit for me.
