Video Problem - No red spectrum in 720p format
I have a pioneer plasma pdp-505cmx with pda-5004 video card installed.
I am using component video cables running from the cable box, to my receiver, and then from the receiver to the display. Oddly enough, when I select a progressive format on the cable box, I get only greens and blues in the picture, but when selecting an interlaced format, I get the full spectrum of color.
I've tested the cables I'm using, as well as the outputs on the receiver and box. Clearly, since I get full color on 1080i, the connections are secure.
Does this sound like a problem with the TV or with the cable box? It may be important to note that if I use a DVI to HDMI cable from the display to the cable box directly, I get full spectrum in any format.
For what it is worth I have RCN cable, and their latest Motorola (its black with blue backlights) cable box.
