Thanks and HDCP question

First, thank you all for the advice generated in my original newbie post:

I am now the proud owner of a H&K AV 154, a Samsung BP-1600, and a set of Polk 6750 5.1 speakers. It is connected my Phillips 32PFL5332D. It sounds so much better than the old stereo I had, I am very pleased. I have run into an issue though. Playing blu-ray discs it was fine the first time for a bout three hours of playing. The next evening after about 30 minutes or so patches of green vertical lines started showing up. After restarting the blu-ray player it was okay for a few minutes and then they came back. I restarted the player again and the whole screen turned green. I decided to try different discs but the player quit loading them, it would sit there saying "Loading." I am not sure if the loading issue was related to the green issue.

Research at Samsung said the problem was probably because the TV is not HDCP compliant, and to use a component connection instead of HDMI. I looked at the manual for the TV bit it does not mention HDCP anywhere so I don't know. How can I find out? I bought it about1.5 years ago. Does this make sense and do you have any suggestions? Also, this morning I put DVD in and it worked just fine, but I only had a minute to play it.
