Bill,
I have noticed color problems even with the VIP, and I can only say that
it takes careful color choices to get good results with NTSC due to it's
limitations. Also, lots of dithering and anti-aliasing seems to help on
NTSC output as opposed to large areas of a single color. The type of RCA
cable you use can be important.. Make sure you specifically have a video
cable. I do not notice any difference when the RGB pass-thru is
disconnected, nor do I remember any mention of it in the VIP literature.
Lastly, when I playback my animations from VHS, I find the picture on a
TV/monitor to be much superior to what I get from my 1084 composite
('color-noise' is greatly exaggerated); I only use the 1084 for a vague
reference while recording, not for final scrutiny.
