Probably not a great comb filter in the TV. What's your setup? edit: Looking at your posts - out of the PAL/NTSC combo players, the 925 and DVL's are the only ones that don't mash a NTSC disk into bits - and they're not even that great at playing NTSC. Most of the others including the 515 mangle NTSC with a 1D comb filter and a 3.2mhz low-pass filter (i.e. 250-260 lines) and then recombine the result. Even though the in the case of the 315, there's only composite output! If it was possible to bypass that NTSC->PAL conversion circuit (I don't think robwhar succeeded on his S315) the 515's quality should be about equal to a 406 - i.e. good if you have something good with dealing with NTSC to plug it into.

I have a Sony 32" LCD tv 32W705B. My LD player is a CLD-D515. It has composit, S-Video and scart outputs as well as various digital audio outs. I use the composit output because surely the comb filter in the TV is better, right? When playing NTSC discs(all my discs are NTSC) I don't output PAL 60 I use pure NTSC(at least I think I do). Only thing is the sound is very low. I don't know how to increase the sound on the player. Is it adjustable? I don't have the manual or the original remote for it.

Try the S-Video, then and see if it works better. I don't think there's any sound level control - if you can have digital sound wired from the player to the TV then disks with digital audio will have the disk's natural volume. edit: ... but the 515 doesn't have s-video. No reference to it in the service manual or this: http://www.laserdiscarchive.co.uk/laser ... 5_rear.jpgAnd the TV doesn't have it either, as far as I can tell...
