Laserdisc and picture quality

Posted by billiam@q.com on December 9, 2011 at 19:03:11:
The other day, we dusted the laserdisc player off and connected it to the receiver because we have a bunch of laserdiscs that we would like to include in our "library." The player only has composite or s-video out. I figured going through the reciever that the upconversion to hdmi would be fine since our Plasma does not have an S-Video in. Needless to say, the upconversion works but is not the best in quality. Going from the player directly to the composite in on the TV does not look any better. Any cheap suggestions to fixing the picture quality? I realize that this is probably an exercise in futility, but before I ditch the player, I thought I would ask. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
