Default Re: JVC 7700EK VCR 1980. 405 line recording.

Moving on, I do have an HDMI to composite converter which is being used to feed a plasma screen used by my daughter in her bedroom. As an aside, I am sure she switches the TV on to heat the room.

From posts here, this may well be a low cost simple for me, anyway, to achieve greater entertainment than re running The Dambusters etc. DVD's.

When I first used the HDMI converter, I did think resolution was not quite as good as the source which is important to get the best out of the larger screen dual standard TV's which I have.

Whilst test cards might look similar on both 405 and 625 displays, it is when playing moving images that any loss detail becomes important, especially where the scene is panoramic.
