I currently have a Panasonic S52 upscaling DVD player connected only with HDMI to my Panasonic 42TX60 Plasma. When I watch certain DVD's - specifically ones with video content not film - there is too much emphasis, and many repeating shadows of vertical lines in the images. Both player and TV are set to 720p. When I change the player to 576p then the picture is much better (if a little softer).

Why am I getting this specifically with video material? Filmed material looks great. Was it a mistake buying a Panasonic upscaling player and could I be getting a double upscaling of certain material?

There will be 2 scalings in your system, it will upscale to 720p then scale again to 1024x768.

Your TV probably does a better job of scaling than the DVD so you are doing right by setting to 576p.

Whatever looks best is the correct setup, you are in a better position to judge than anyone else on this forum because you can see the picture.

It's not a mistake buying an upscaling player if you like the rest of it, you don't have to use the upscaling.
