Hi,
This is a bit of a cross post from the DLP message board, but i haven't had much of a respose there yet and I figure there are more guys on this site who have PAL versions of Dragons lair....
I recently built up a PC with EuroDL so I can use an alternate disc player. It works fine but I do not get a color disc image, black and white only.
I do not think this is a PAL/NTSC issue since I have owned the cab for ages and it's pretty much all original and I know it used to work five years ago with the original Philips player.
So far I have tried, two different PAL laserdiscs and two different logic boards. Two different cables from the player to the logic board, two players (Sony LDP-3600D ver 2.1 and Sony 1500P). The blue 'scoreboard' screens as seen on PAL versions of dragons lair are in color so I know that the computer generated gfx work, and also the montor. I know the output of the players is good since I plugged them straight into an old TV with the game running. The monitor in the cab is currently a WG7000 series but I have now fixed the original Matsush*ta and I shall try putting that back in but I really don't expect that to make a difference.
I figure either both my video cables are dodgy, both logic boards have faults (even though they were 100% before), or most likely they don't like something about the video being output form the Sony players. Has anyone else had problems using these Sony players?
I know there are a few pots on the logic board that I had adjusted in the past for hue/saturation/sync when still using the original player but that option hasn't had much success this time although perhaps I'm not following the proper adjustment procedure.
Any help always appreciated.
Cheers
Karl.
