Hi, will take a stab at this, at the risk of eating humble pie.. I experienced a very similar problem. See the thread I posted in this forum "KHP colors using Leader decoder". Learned during the research that not all decoders recognize all cd players. As it turned out the problem wasn't the decoder, but the cd player. The problem disappeared when I replaced the player with a different brand(which I was getting ready to do anyway). During the process I found my old player only had the problem on the first song of a new cd. My new player, however when I go to a new cd, will, for an instant show a random word or two on the screen, but then proceeds to function properly. Came to the conclusion that my new Sony doesn't have a buffer in the video output, and what I'm seeing is the search for a title, which some cd's have embedded. My old JVC however did have this buffer, and it's the buffer that was causing big time problems. Wrong or right, that's what I concluded. Where this is all leading to is to suggest that there's probably nothing wrong with your cd's but the problem is in the programming of the other players, or the decoders,and that's beyond your control.

Take Care,
