    This is the latest iteration of SONY's MUSE Decoder used to process Hi-Vision signals encoded from Analog TV, W-VHS and Hi-Vision Laserdiscs from the 90's.
    This is what you need with a Hi-Vision Laserdisc player (such as the HLD-X9) to watch the decoded video over 1080i (technically 1135i) RGB signals.
    This unit is near perfect coming with:
    The
    original box
    The manual
    The cables bundle
    The
    remote control
    (needed to change some settings such as the 2ch/4ch/5ch mode for Mode A MUSE titles)
    A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT
    (Hi-Vision Laserdisc release [PILH-1006] -- so you have something to play/decode when you receive the unit)
    Unit looks visually as fresh as sold 25 years ago.
    The metal connectors didn't oxide and are still bright and smooth.
    This is a JAPANESE VOLTAGE ONLY unit, which means you will need to buy a 230 -> 100V (Europe) converter or 120 -> 100V (USA) step-down to make it operate optimally and avoid electrical damage.
    A lot of other sellers of MUSE decoders don't necessarily have the hardware required to test these old consumer technologies. Buy with confidence here.
    Unit was tested as follows:
    MUSE 1 input, video RGB output
    MUSE 2 input
    , video RGB output
    MUSE 1 input, monitor RGB output
    MUSE 2 input
    , monitor RGB output
    Analog Audio output (Left and Right)
    Remote control functions (menu only appears on the monitor RGB out)
    Note that this baby is HEAVY (more than 7Kg unpacked).
    It will be double boxed to avoid any trouble.
