It is a combi player right?
cld-d704 had rf-out.
mine is very old and i only paid 60 dollars for it. it is a pioneer cld-v2800 industrial unit it does not have any comb filters does have digital sound but no rf-output, you have to flip discs manually and it does not have still mode on clv discs.
I don't have an HD tv or an expensive surround setup, just a standard def tv with stereo audio output. so i'm probably not equipped to be the best reviewer of things.
That being said the GOUT looks like shit even on a 4:3 tv set that is properly set up.
We are and were willing to forgive the limitations of the laserdisc format because that was pretty much built in an a given that the dc would look like that. There is absolutely no excuse for such on dvd however. releasing something only as a shoddy bonus disc and saying "theatrical versions" does not make them so.
The anamorphic prints in 35mm, on the big screen were better looking than these dvds.
I only ever saw the original Return of the Jedi in the Theaters and that was the 1985
Re-Release even then i can tell you how good it looked instead of the gout dvd version.
I had been looking forward to the restoration of the originals as rumored because i never saw star wars a new hope or empire in theaters. Low and Behold 1997 dawned and it was not the old ones being restored but added not necessary changed in cgi. I hated that Greedo shot first. I was kinda meh on the Jabba scene you could take it or leave it but it certianly did not ruin the entire movie for me.
I hated the dialogue changes and sound changes that i thought were not necessary like the colt 45 sound in star wars instead of the laser, or lukes line in empire being changed to "you were lucky to get out of there" a different take than "your lucky you don't taste very good" which is more funny and fits the scene better.
i had just better pretend the 2004 versions never happened. They changed boba fetts voice and replaced clive revill as the emperor., and had hayden and jar jar in rotj, very lame indeed.
