Help Please with macroblocking from Sony DVD to Samsung LCD

I have addressed this problem in the main forum with little results but I thought it would be appropriate here...

I have a Sony DVP NS75H connected to A Samsung LNS3251D LCD display. By HDMI AND Component inputs from the player to the display, the picture is severely degraded with macroblocking/color banding. I have the settings in the player chosen correctly, and the TV is receiving the 1080i or 720p signals. I took the first Sony DVD player back and exchanged it for the exact same model because I thought there was someting wrong with that particular unit. But, as you have guessed, the same problem exists with the second unit.

Do Sony and Samsung not mix well?

By the way, I hooked up my other Sony (non-upconverting) P-scan DVD player via component to the Samsung LCD, and the problem is gone.

Any ideas?
