Just to clarify, I have three different cables, which I have been using
with the 128DCR.

1) RCA-style RF cable
2) DIN8 -> s-video + audio
3) DIN8 -> chroma/luna + audio (all RCA connectors)

So, I do, indeed, have the proper cables.  The one particularly interesting
question that has been raised is what are the normal signal levels for
chroma, on the DCR?  I don’t know that, offhand, other than to say that I
have gotten excellent picture out of the DIN8/s-video cable, in the past,
to a modern LCD monitor.  Whether I used it with either of the LCDs (Dell
2001fp and HP 2025) that I am currently using is an open question, though.

Thanks!
