Leaving me to assume that any composite video I input from the laserdisc player is split into S-Video before recording to the DVD or built-in hard drive, and not just on pass through output from the S-Video jacks on the recorder.

Likewise my Pioneer DVD recorders having composite input (along with S-Video), with S-Video outputs might be assumed to have some sort of onboard comb filter, though there is nothing about that in the manual specifications either. It just doesn't say anything about that in the manual specifications, leaving me to assume without actually knowing. Even my older 1996 vintage Yamaha player has two S-Video outputs. That's what I thought, without really knowing for sure, that S-Video output on a Laserdisc player means there is at least some sort of comb filter to split the natively composite video from the laserdisc into chroma and luminance signals on separate lines for an S-Video cable.
