This is usually caused by the comb filter in the TV. You can verify by temporarily switching to the s-video output on your player; if the issue goes away when using s-video, it's verification that the TV's comb filter is the culprit.

If you'd prefer to work with the hardware you've already got, you can simply stick with using the s-video connector, and the issue should be resolved. If you'd prefer something better, it's time to investigate either a better TV or an outboard processor.

There are a number of very inexpensive ($50 or less) composite to HDMI converters on the market, but the CF chipset in the majority of them is going to be similar to what's in your TV, the results won't be worth the cost, and you're better off sticking with what you've got.

For just a little more ($85 USD) you can go with a [Blackmagic SDI to HDMI Micro converter] (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1247784-REG/blackmagic_design_convcmic_sh_micro_converter_sdi_to.html), it's among the best quality low-cost units on the market, and is a very "low fuss" unit, requiring no configuration or setup aside from just getting it connected.

There are only 2 caveats:

  1. You'll need an [RCA to BNC adapter] (https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-RCABNCFM-RCA-BNC-Adapter/dp/B00027BVUO) for the end of the composite cable that connects to the coverter. They're very cheap.

  2. The Micro doesn't handle audio, so you'll still need to send all audio either to your Denon or to the TV.

    It's also worth noting that the micro unit does not scale, but your TV should scale the HDMI input to match it's native resolution, so it's kind of moot.

    If you want to bump up from the Micro, Blackmagic also offers a [Mini] (https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/api/print/products/miniconverters/techspecs/W-CONM-03?filename=sdi-to-hdmi-techspecs.pdf), which adds 4:4:4 sampling, scaling, and audio passthrough to the Micro's spec sheet. It's [$100 more than the Micro] (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/558911-REG/Blackmagic_Design_CONVMBSH_Mini_Converter_SDI_to.html) but may be worth the cost to you.

    I wouldn't bother with anything more expensive or more advanced than that unless you're also interested in upgrading your TV player; and in all honesty, these units (especially the Mini) work well even with higher-end hardware, so you've got headroom to continue using either of them even if you upgrade down the line.
