DVD movies appear washed-out or distorted

When you play a DVD in your DVD player are the colors washed out? Is the image distorted? Do wavy lines appear on the screen? If so, you may have a problem with signal degradation.
To discourage people from copying movies, some companies degrade the video signal just enough so that the video appears okay when it is played directly on a TV but it becomes distorted when the signal first passes through another device, such as a VCR. The solution is to connect the video-out from the DVD player directly to the video-in connectors on the back of your TV.
