Help with component connect

I bought a Panasonic CT-26WX15 16:9 HDTV monitor and it is beautiful Even
just a straight analog cable line coax input looks fantastic. I don't
normally watch any broadcast television, just DVD's. Right now I'm running
S-Video, the same set-up I had with my Phillips 27" 4:3 set. I tried a
component connect with high quality Phillips cables and then RCA cables, and
all I get is a red colored "disaster". I checked all the cables with an ohm
meter, and triple checked the inputs/outputs. This TV has 2 sets of
component connect inputs, and I tried both with the same results. I think
it is my DVD player which is an older model Daewoo combo VCR/DVD which will
actually connect to older TV's through coax only, but it does have S-Video
(which works great) and component connect which gives me the "red disaster".
Also this player is a non-progressive scan machine.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm prepared to purchase a new DVD
player as my new TV has a HDMI input, but I would prefer to have a unit with
a digital LED Clock on the front panel. Also I have read something about an
audio/visual sync problem with HDMI with a LG unit. Thanks in advance.

You have to go into your DVD player's Setup menu and switch the video
output from "Composite" or "S-Video" to "Component".

Or look for a switch on the back of the player to switch in the component
output. It will likely be the switch or the menu item.

Also, double check that the compenent cable is hooked up correctly. The blue
and green plugs can look awfully similar to some under certain light
conditions.

That's what I just did, and it works like a champ! MUCH better pic quality.
Now I need a progressive scan DVD player, but this Daewoo is a lot better
than the rumor mill has them. It's over a year old now, and I never turn it
off. Thanks Kimba,
