vertical warp on XBR960

Ever since I've had the 34XBR960, regular DVD images have an area of warping, from top to bottom of screen, about halfway between the middle and left end of the screen. It's like seeing through a warped mirror, and is only noticed when the scene pans left or right. Images expand then contract as they pass through the warp area. Same thing when I play lower resolution videos from my digital camera through the front RCA inputs, as well as the composite video inputs in the back. It does not happen with 1080i HDTV input from my antenna, though.

It's subtle on DVDs, so I haven't worried about it, but I'll be out of warranty in a few months, and am concerned that it's in the analog to digital video converter, so would show the problem when I get an HD/Blu Ray DVD player.

Anyone ever heard of this or have an idea about what it is? I'll be asking for a service call soon, I think.
