Possibly it could have something to do with the settings, but I don't see how that could be true unless it was set wrong from the factory or someone has been in the settings and put something wrong. Normally it's setup correctly when it leaves the factory and the end-user doesn't have to mess with it.
It can be tempting to just try replacing a big IC because it seems like an easy thing to try, but it's very rarely the actual cause of failure in things like this.
When I have a big, difficult project like this, comparing voltages from the schematics is the number 1 way I make progress.
Doing this stuff can be really hard, and even after many years there are still some repairs I haven't figured out yet. It just be like that.

I hear ya. It may end up being a juice not worth the squeeze situation. Overall the TV works almost perfectly. Probably easier to just find a S-VHS player with svideo out. The laserdisc is a little harder, good Elite units with good svideo out a super expensive. I may end up doing a recap one of these days just because and who knows that may help.
As far as the settings go, it's possible it's been messed with. D series TV's tend to trade hands often, so im sure the service menu has been accessed. The red push was already disabled when I got it, so someone has been in there at least once. I should at least sit down and make sure everything is set to factory based on the service manual just in case.
