Video washed out, overexposed when playing DVD-Rs

[xtalker]

I'm baffled by this problem, perhaps someone can give me a clue here!

I have a Sony DVP-NS575P player attached with a modulator to an older
Sharp TV. The player plays "commercial" (ie: Purchased or rented)
DVDs beautifully.

The problem is any disc I make (DVD-R, CD-R, CD-RW) plays ok, but
video looks overexposed and washed-out. It is watchable, but not
nearly the quality of commercial discs. I have tried all the settings
on the player to no avail. This happens on DVDs recorded on other burners (not just mine) as well.

Any help appreciated,
Bob
