cld-d703 i read is exactly the same as the elite quality wise except it does not have an ac3-rf out unless yours is moded.
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.

Yes, the 703 is a combi-player and is identical to the 704 except for the lack of a ac3-out. I didn't care about that though, since I specifically bought it to make transfers of the Faces discs and as you know they're 2-channel.
Where did you see ROTJ in '85? I saw it 3 or 4 times in '83 and then of course again in '97 (which I'd like to forget altogether).
