Hello! Just a quick update on the dvd recorder situation. I stopped by the thrift shop today and found a Panasonic DMR-ES15 DVD recorder. $40.00 with remote! It doesn't have a hdmi output (not sure if that would make a difference). Running it through a rca to hdmi converter to the avr to the samsung flat screen right now. Set up was super easy. Picture has improved 150% percent. I'm sure there are a few more adjustments to make, but I'm thrilled with progress I've made so far. D.

Beyond that though I’d save the money for a better broken DVD recorder, a JVC with HDMI out. The one I have will make a LDV2200 look like a CLD-99…to the untrained eye, anyway. It really is that transformative. Great. Thank you for the information. I'll keep my eyes out for the JVC.

Looks like a nice unit, i have no experience with but surely may see an improvement. I can whole heartly recommend a DVDO Iscan would be worth a search indeed since your in Emerica, Has alot of adjustments to clean up image and you can also get aspect ratios etc nice and tidy on modern displays. Depends how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go really, for example user pbiancarbi uses MADVR with projectors, anamorphic lens etc to really push rhe boundaries on what Laserdisc can look like to your eyeballs. For example: Anamorphic Lens

Good filter? ThAnk you! I think that’s the one I have, I’ll have to check. If it is I recommend it highly. I’ve looked it up before and posted it here before but I can’t find squat in a search. If you’re better maybe you can. If you can get a deal on one because the VCR or DVD sections are broke, do it. They are just going to break anyway and you only want the pass-through. I watched maybe 50 VHS tapes on mine before it started to refuse to load them. The DVD side still works, I think. EDIT: I found my old post and according to it mine is the JVC DR-MV150B.

david92210 wrote: 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 Anytime you can squeeze more out of this format is a massive win. Whats the improvement in quality? Picture less "soft"? Colours more natural?
