Personally I do not know the answer to this question but, looking on the internet I've found people with a similar problem who fixed their problem by replacing their cables.

"sounds like a ground loop. Make sure your not using one of those cheap$50 connectors that you plug all your consoles into and then plug (it)into the tv, also watch the wires crossing each other, electricalagainst HDMI, composite and so on. Keep everything real neat andseparated back there."

Flat monitors work on a grid method, if one of the grid is failing it creates a horizontal or verical line. its not something you can fix, so send it back.

When I am on HD channels my plasma seems to show a ligher line on both sides of the tv. It only seems to do it on hockey games or all white screens

What you are describing is a burn. The 4:3 aspect ratio black bars are the culprits. The best way to get rid of them is to display a white screen and let it sit over night and hopefully they will be gone.

Try to keep still images off the screen as they will burn.

Watching DVD's

Did you move to the Movie/Video section of the Main Menu? When you see it scroll down, your movie should be the item next to last. Thanks!
