Initially this device caused image freezing several times a minute. I tried it using the S-Video output and then I also tried the composite output of JVC VHS tape player and the results were just the same either way.
Another strange anomaly was that the VCR blue screen/start screen (no video tape yet playing) was rolling constantly until the tape would start playing. I am using brand new cables that I ordered when I purchased this device. Interestingly, I did try replacing the composite cables between this device and the flatscreen TV and that cable did not have the screen rolling effect, but the freezing did not go away.
When I removed this converter from the signal chain and connected my VCR's composite output directly to the TV, I got proper playback without any of the afore mentioned problems.
I tried changing settings on this converter. I tried changing output settings on the JVC VCR and the Vizio flatscreen TV, but nothing seemed to address the cause of the above problems. Finally, I got to a point where I turned off the "video stabilization" setting on the JVC VCR and that did seem to reduce the occurrence of the freezing. The sequence in which I turn on the devices seems to have an effect on the freezing issue.
The audio does not get connected to this device and as a result, there was no problems with audio. The problems were solely created in the video when this device was in the signal chain. At this time I cannot confirm the exact cause of these problems, but I am getting a very good picture from the VCR.
