Most laserdiscs have digital audio tracks; these are CD-quality 44.1kHz uncompressed PCM. Laserdiscs can also carry an analogue track; some discs use this track for commentaries (later a system was devised allowing modulated AC-3 to be stored on the analogue track). Early discs had analogue tracks only.
It sounds like your player can reproduce the digital track fine but is not so good at playing the analogue track. This is not really a problem unless you own some early analogue-only discs, or want commentaries with higher quality audio reproduction.
(There should be a button on the remote to switch between analogue and digital audio tracks.)

Thanks. That makes much more sense now about the audio tracks on the laserdiscs.
I just found a bnc to svideo adapter and going to order it and see how the picture quality is.
