The composite tp Svid upconversion looks bad.

It adds a diagonal grid noise pattern that is apparent on a standard def 36" TV.

Made me go out and buy an SVHS VCR tp get rid of it. Whicch was nicce, as this improved the look of VHS substantially, and got rid of my last composite source. Mine is one of the first post beta 950's. but I am not aware of any improvement in later units.

Adding OSD to component feeds is generally avoided as it contaminates the signal (unless the Lexicon method is used), and since you're using component inn the first place, it is assumed you are after top image quality.
