Well, I have to admit, I have no problems. Although I have a standard CRT TV (28inch Sony Wega Widescreen), and the box is connected via RGB Scart and a Tivo (with RGB Scart in and out), neither my Tivo or TV appear to have problems (when the Engineer first connected the Sammy, he disconnected the Tivo from the system totally so the connection went from box to TV).

Not sure why Plasmas should be any more sensitive than CRTs to voltage levels.

As a work around, have you tried RGB (which should give a better picture anyway)? The Samsung does have RGB out, and the Plasma will have an RGB in (whether it's available or not is another matter).
