Modwright CD player problem...HELP


I just got this player and it's great except for one problem. Using either one of the S-video connections produces a banding on the tv screen that continually moves from top to bottom. These lines exist despite trying numerous DVDs, a different s-video cord, and different power cables to the unit. Running the s-video directly from the 999ES to the tv also did not solve the problem I even tried hooking up my old unit (Arcam DV 88). When I did this, the problem finally went away. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve the s-video problem on the player?

This is a video " noise" from a ground loop. Often the source is your co-ax CATV connection. Try a CATV ground isolation transformer. You can get a cheap one from Rat Shack or a better one from Jensen or Mondial (MAGIC its called).
There you go, it's a 60 cycle hum related to cable, if it was gone when you disconnected it that's it. I would guess that when you hooked up the Arcam cable wasn't involved, hence no problem. Get a signal isolator, Mondial makes something called the Magic Splitter or something like that, and there may be other cheaper alternatives. Good luck!
