Hello all! I finally got myself a modded Duo, and am pretty pumped! Unfortunately, my system seems to have an issue where horizontal bands of light colored noise slowly move across the screen from bottom to top, the noise is more apparent on light colors.

I don't think it is jailbars, as I thought jailbars were verticle... Am I wrong?

System info: Duo Rx modded by Doujindance, RGB, Component, new laser, region switch. Currently plugged into a LG HDTV from a few years back using Component.

Any ideas what's up, or settings I could tweak on my TV? I saw a similar post in another forum where people said that cheap power cable may have been the issue.

possibly the power supply.  what kind are you using?  do you have a ps2 slim or a genesis model 2 power supply you try?

cdpog

There's a small no-name power supply that was included in the sale that I am currently using.

Yes, I have a Genesis 2 that I bought when it came out in the US, would that work better on the Duo Rx?

OK, will do tonight.

Is that pretty much what it has to be? I saw nothing else online that pointed to an answer.

probably is, but won't know for sure until you try it.  could also possibly be something with the scart cable grounding, but I would try the power supply before anything else.

Are you using a SCART switcher? I was having this problem, but I swapped my SCART cable to a different input on my SCART switcher and it went away.

Good news everyone! (in the voice of Prof Farnsworth)

I tried the genesis 2 PS and it completely went away. I tried a Hucard and CD, no more bands of horizontal noise. Awesome! Now I'm officially ready to start playing all these CDs and Japanese Hucards I've been hoarding  :dance:

Thanks for the help Mickcris!

Aside to crazydream, no sir, no switcher of any kind involved.
