Thanks for the help and suggestions guys.
FF-was this the player you used for your original Criterion Bond transfers?
My actual player is a CLD-D702, but it's back home and I didn't want to risk damaging it by shipping it several states. (and paying at least $30 in shipping)
The D504 was the best one I could get that actually worked. It's borrowed from someone who doesn't use it that much so I can't really do any modification work to it. I've started capturing with the analog enabled for a test. The analog and digital sound virtually the same going through RCA anyway.
My test disc is the 1989 series LBX You Only Live Twice.
