I am no expert in this area, but I would doubt that the issue is the DVD.

It has been my experience that if you have the correct alignment in the color section of your chassis, you will get good color balance. I have had this sort of problem when the quadrature adjustment is off. If that adjustment is off you will not be able to get the correct balance between the 3 colors.

You can use a scope, as John Folsom has taught me, to view the stairstep waveform on a scope to balance the colors correctly, which is a more accurate way to get the perfect balance.

You can tell easily if you put a NTSC color bar pattern on the screen. I try to get the proper color balance by looking at the yellow bar on the left, the aqua bar to the immediate right of the yellow, and the magenta bar between the blue and the red. IF those 3 colors are ballanced properly, with the 3 primarys red, blue and green, then you will have a fairly correct representation of the color that your DVD is producing.

Then I go to the first scene in OZ when Dorthy first opens the door and walks into OZ. There are some large green leaves and a couple large yellow flowers. I compare the color of the leaves and the yellow flowers to the same image on a properly set up modern color set and if the roundie is fairly close to the benchmark, then I am happy.

I would say the color alignment in your set is off. But color is a subjective thing, and if you like it that way, I say whatever floats your boat.
