Has anyone on this board used the DVL-919? I don't recall reading that model number in the numerous discussions about Laserdiscs. I believe when playing DVD's, this player outputs component video and 5.1 audio exactly as DVD-only players do. Laserdisc video is output through composite or S-video and the audio via AC-3 RF or conventional two-channel analog outputs.
Other than requiring a decoder for AC-3 RF audio with Laserdiscs, what are the pros and cons of this player? They are often on ebay at reasonable prices versus some of the high-end Laser-only players from Pioneer.
