Vertical line when playing DVD
When playing a DVD through our Panasonic Blu ray DVD player, a blue vertical line appears on the far right of the TV screen. It is more visible when the picture is white or pale. When just watching the TV the line isnt there, so therefore it must be the DVD player. Any advice? Thanks.
