Question regarding RF A/V converters

Archived from groups: alt.video.laserdisc (More info?)

As stated in a previous post, I have a Magnavox set manufactured in
1985, so I have to use one of those RF modulator A/V converter boxes.
I input the LD player to the converter box through a composite cable,
which then outputs to the TV through an RF cable. The results are less
than stellar- the set has a garbage comb filter, evidenced by the
extremely distorted moire on the Snell & Wilcox zone plate pattern on
Video Essentials. Would I be able to use the LD player's comb filter
if I connected it to the converter with S-Video instead of composite?
Or will the converter change it back into a composite signal anyway? I
know that it would somehow 'mash' the Y/C signals back together, due
to the signal being compressed onto the RF cable, but would it still
go through the set's comb filter?
