I have a 20 inch polaroid LCD TV. I have had it for 5+ years and it works like a champ except for one thing. When i use the component input the video will occasionally cut out for anywhere from 1 second to 10 seconds. And it doesn't randomly happen either, it normally happens when there is something such as an explosion or a moment when the volume gets louder for one reason or another. For example, i will be playing a game on my ps3 and a mortar shell will go off near me and the video will cut out for oh say 5 seconds and ill have to pause the game and wait for the video to pop back on. Its strange though because this only occurs when i use the component connection. If i use coax, composite or s-video connections the video is flawless, no problems. And its not just the ps3, any component device has the same problem on this TV. And i have tried my devices on other TVs and none of this occurs. Also, all my devices go through a receiver so no sound is produced by the internal speakers on the TV. I have googled the problem but have found nothing on the subject, and the TV is out of warranty of course so i can't call the manu. without paying a fee to talk with someone on the phone. Thanks!
