If nothing else, you got yourself a decent A/V switch for $2 and that seems like a deal already, the rest is just bonus at this point.

This is kind of what I was trying to say; reading the manual would provide enough clues for it's use. I’d assume the manual would tell you everything about every function. This is 80s Teac after all. The last manual I got from them was over 100 pages long and that was 2015! (TASCAM DP24SD). When you get to a term you don’t understand, Google it...beyond that I’d say if you can run an LD player you’re probably good. I wonder what the original price was for this thing. Less than $300?

It does have a video disc input. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks! Sorry to bump an older post with my first, but I have this (actually, the older AV-100 with no hue control) and have used it for years with LDs and a couple of consoles. It's NOT a switcher and shouldn't be used as one. It was a pretty fancy thing to have back in the day for OB broadcasts and cutting to VTR and run crazy cheap these days. Basically, this does what the retrotink does, just waaaaaay cheaper. It's not a line doubler and doesn't output HD, but (especially on CRTs) it does effectively sharpen the image with fine adjustments to suit your tolerance for halos. The label "Video Disc" is just a label, any composite signal works and the LD can be pugged in anywhere. The fader simply fades to black for live broadcasts and the colour wheel controls the hue. The DNR dial, at least on my unit, does diddly. There's even power delivery at the rear. So, yea, for their price, these are somewhat undiscovered and well worth the time. Not magic, but a noticeable improvement for composite sources. I would recommend anybody to give them a try if you come across them. Couple this with a decent switcher and you're golden.
