I got my EP500 late last week (upgraded from the EP175). This is an awsome piece of equipment!!!!!! I can really shake my neighbourhood.

Here is the problem, When I am using my Pioneer DVD player using the component (RGB) inputs to my Toshiba 55" TV (an older Cinima Series TV bought in fall of 98 4:3). When the 500 plays low freq., even at low volumes, I get distortion on the screen. When I turn up the volume it blacks out the TV altgether. If I run composite, no problems. I thought maybe it was my CD player, so I hooked up my LG DVD player and had the same effect. So then I tried watching Rome on Starchoice last night in 5.1 through composite and again no problems. Only seems to be a problem running RGB from DVD. I had an EP175 and a Mirage BPS100 before and never had a problem.

Anybody have any ideas???????? I can watch DVD's using composite, but rather take advantage of the progressive scan option on my DVD player(s).
