I had a old karaoke player which i gave to my brother,
By the time he drove 1hr across New Zealands harsh roads it threw the alignment out...

I had my R7G brought to New Zealand personally as carry on luggage via japan to play safe thanks to a special individual.

Anamorphic Lens

pbiancardi shows how good even LD can look on modern displays in that thread.

Down the rabbit hole some may go..

Ensure your RCA cables are of a decent standard, 75ohm with shielding etc and less important your HDMi cable is not some $1NZD job.
Easy simple way to squeeze abit more of the picture.

UPDATE!
The JVC MV150 dvd recorder arrived today.
I hooked it up and the difference is incredible!
I'm not sure if the improvement in picture quality is due to the hdmi output from the JVC, the JVC's filter or a mixture of both.
Anyway, I'm thrilled and so happy that it worked out perfectly.
Thanks for the help!
David

Thats great to hear :clap:
Anytime you can squeeze more out of this format is a massive win.
Whats the improvement in quality? Picture less "soft"? Colours more natural?

Do you have the remote with the R7?
If so have you played around with the 3D Comb Filter settings?

Yes s-Video.
Composite it just gives undesired results.

You prefer LD analog audio over PCM digital, seriously?
The analog audio is so much more alive like listening to a vinyl record 8-)


Just for people reading this in the future this statement is not true.
Analog sound from LaserDisc is similar to a FM radio station.
Digital is far more cleaner and is basically full CD quality

Good to see you reply signofzeta.
Not many products get the Jake Heke stamp of approval but these cables do,

Ill assume the individual sheathing keeps the Luma and Chroma signal separate but regardless,
in my New Zealand eye balls it provides a better image than much more expensive cables i have trialed.
Again S-Video cables for future readers really should only be used with few LaserDisc players with special 3-D comb filters, else your TV will do a better job via composite which you should use with other players
Thank you to the kind user here who generously sent them to me. :wave:

Laserfan is right.
Garbage in=Garbage out.

Start with the best signal from the source which on the R7G is by and far S-Video

Laserfan it does a great job but alas unable to bring the picture up to R7G quality.

Noogle it is possible older but still does a good job and gets the rare Jake Heke stamp of approval.

Another member here TED has a R7G with a DVDO and sings its praises

Had a member contact me here.
He had signed up to LDDB to find someone in New Zealand who would like his original LaserDisc collection,
His player no longer works unfortunately. I was the only 'Active' member he could see from New Zealand so lucky me :crazy:

Anyway after paying for postage from a local village these boxes arrived to clutter my home:

Onkyo went bankrupt last year and was brought by Sharp/PAC.
Denon i believe is its own company but has involvement with Hitachi.

Sorry to interrupt the political discussion.

I personally would love to own.
Incredible stretch of land which has changed over the years.
What better way to witness it from 1990/1991 from a laserdisc directly into my eyeballs?
