More hours searching came up with this product as a possible answer.

But will it handle PAL? Anyone know?

TIA

I think that PAL only really matters for original playback capabilities. If the playback signal is
coming from any S-Video output that format restriction is no longer in affect as it's now an Analog video signal.

So the Pioneer player ( & the recorder) don't have Componnent Video outputs & inputs ?
or better yet a FireWire connector on it like my JVC HM 30000 DVHS had ? ( I made some very nice HDTV show recording w/ Samsung HD OTA tuner ; this was in the days before HDDVRs; they stopped allowing independent companies from putting FireWire on their tuners when they realized there was a DVR market out there)

If there is any easy way to add the Componnent Video option I would investigate that before
going the S-Video route .

  Thanks for responding Steve.
  
  My problem has been a paranoia about composite being a trash video format. Maybe it can be but the analog laser video is good composite that needs processing and I'm discovering that none of the older (last decade or earlier) comb filters are really very good, even high end ones.
  
  The penny has finally dropped that the Pioneer DVD recorder (a D60) has a better internal comb filter and processor than any of the laserdisc players, even including the much revered HLD-X9 (which I also have).
  
  So the answer to my "problem" is blindingly simple - feed composite from the LD player into the DVDR and let it process that composite video into digital for the DVD. So that is what I am now doing.
