Vertical Scolling on my WDTV Full HD Media Player Options

[Danno J]

I have a WDTV Full HD Medial Player that is stuck in a vertical scrolling pattern. I have tried it on multiple televisions (not HD). How do I fix this? It is a recertified WDAVP00BE unit.

Well I've never heard of a problem like this before with these players. Most likely as I said the unit's bad, since it never seems to have worked properly at all with multiple TVs. Guess the recertification process is lacking somewhere. See if you can get it exchanged.

I realize this is an old post, but I just got one of these and it's doing the same thing. I have a WDTV Live that I have no problem with, but this new one a WDAVP00BE model, is scrolling the same as the other person described, like a video instability on the old TVs.

I had the same problem when I hooked it up via composite. The screen was scrolling/flipping as though the vertical hold were off. I fiddled with the remote and finally managed to press the right buttons to change the settings from PAL to NTSC. Now it works fine.

Wow. What a lifesaver you are. You have no idea. I just bought my second WDTV unit assuming that the first one was defective. I couldn't see anything because there was no vertical hold.

Somehow, like you said, I managed to get through the menu --> Settings --> video --> NTSC, and it works now!

You, madam, are a lifesaver. I was just about to give up when I stumbled upon your post. I googled the last time but didn't find it. I only registered to say that it worked, and thank you.
