Will these gizmos also remove the standard upper retrace lines from non dvds? I just picked up 16 cool laserdiscs for a buck each (Star Wars, Alien, IMAX movies, Star Trek, that type of stuff) and some of them have the old annoying retrace lines like you can get on VHS. I am also going to be watching these on my big screen but wanna use the old roundies for them too occasionally especially the non-widescreen ones. Note this player only has a RF 'channel 3' coax output on it, not rca plugs, don't know if that would affect whether I can use a stabilizer or not. It has something called an "adapter output" but don't know what that is for.
I got lucky in that all of them have useable soundtracks on my ancient hulk of a laserdisc player, a Pioneer VP-1000. Years ago I rented a newer disc that I could only get the 'commentary' soundtrack out of and not the actual movie soundtrack due to how the soundtracks were formatted on the disc (a newer format that this old player is not compatible with.) Fortunately all these worked great on the old player.
