JVC D Series Horizontal Smearing on the Composite Input

[BenM86]

Curious if anyone else has had this issue and knows if it’s something that can be fixed/adjusted. I have a VCR and a Laserdisc player both with composite out, and both give me this issue with smearing when there are light colors on dark areas. It’s especially noticeable with on screen text. Image attached.

The s-video and component inputs don't do this. Both composite inputs do the same thing. And I tried the players with the composite input on my Panasonic plasma and no smearing issues there. So it’s something to do with the composite signal on the JVC specifically. Is there anything that can be configured in the service menu or caps that can be changed out to help? Or is this just how the comb filter is on this TV? Thanks!
