Hi, I'm getting my VHD system setup and I've run into a bit of a problem. I'm pretty sure it's something to do with my Yamaha receiver. Let me explain.
I feed the A/V from the Victor VHD into the line input of my Yamaha RX-A2020 receiver. The receiver up-scales to 1080p and outputs to a 55" Sony LDC TV.
During playback, the picture will go black and after a second comes back on. It's not an issue with the disc, because it happens on all discs, and even happens on 2 different CED players. I know the issue isn't with the TV, because I just upgraded the TV and it does it on both. I don't have this issue when I run any LaserDisc player through the same input. If I pass the VHD signal through an external up-scaler (the crappy $20 jobs from Amazon), the "blinking" stops, but it stretches the picture out to 16x9 (and sometimes not evenly).
Any suggestions on a video processor or up-scaler that will resolve my issue AND maintain the 4:3 aspect ratio?
BTW, I can't simply run the Composite video to the TV... My new Sony only has HDMI inputs.

Just because something is external doesn’t mean it’s better. Clearly you've not read the thread. When I feed the raw signal into my receiver, I get random video blanking. I've tried adding video processing with the receiver, which corrects the blanking problem, but then the video lags behind the audio by 250ms or so.
