    Hi,

    I have following problem with my SZ3. If I try to playback an encrypted HD-DVD from hdd, with PowerDVD 7.3, then I get really bad picture. There is a colored band above the black area at the foot of screen, the faces in brighter scenes have sky-blue spots. The colors are generally distorted.

    I'm using XP, docking station PRSZ1, DVI and Dell 2707wfp running 1920x1200. Software player is as I said Cyberlink' PowerDVD 7.3, I can't get PowerDVD 6.5 or WinDVD HD runnning.
    I have official sony/nvidia driver 84.91 installed on my SZ.
    DVDs and other videos (AVI, mpg) looks good. 1080 HD trailer played with windows media player looks also impressive.

    Any idea what is wrong in my HD-DVD configuration?
