  • Laser disc

    Fired up the laser machine last night I have a Pioneer PaL Ntsc 1997 plays both it has a A and B side when A finish it turns over auto
    I watched The Champ Pal Jon Voight Faye Dunaway and Ricky Schroder. I remember it was brought out in Super 8 does anybody have a copy was a good cut down and how is the color now.I just put on Edward Scissorhands Widescreen Pal Johnny Deep 2 years ago I saw it in 70mm it was crystal clear it was made in 35mm but they transferred it to 70mm I also have The Phamtom Mence Ntsc it was one of the last Laser disc has japenese sub titles.I saw on You Tube that they made a Hd Laser machine I went on Ebay they want Thousands for them but not many discs on Ebay I saw Top Gun last week it went for 70.00 us

    The first demonstration of HDTV (muse 1125 line) was from a laser disc at an exhibition. The sony rep there said that it ran for 30 minutes only at that time. It had a very good picture, especially low background noise, but was only of flowers etc, no action scenes.

      Nice to see a Laser Disc post again Kinda miss my Pioneer D925 player which left my hands a bit ago and it was a superb player. I did keep hold of some of my discs for sentimental reasons and amazingly my player was sold to a guy who was involved designing the audio side of that very player. My goodness we had a good chat about that. Terminator II was a favourite of mine on LD but that was until I purchased the film on Super 8 after watching a reel in the Derann Films cinema upstairs.
      Kept my Star Wars 1983 LD as well although it had gone speckled some years ago.

      My ultimate home cinema setup back then was a D925, early Sharp video projector, Kenwood surround sound and a 10ft screen and a bucket load of memories.

      We had a LD main stockist over in Yorkshire UK with a large shop packed with imports, posters everything it was a fantastic place to hang out for half a day in my case and very much a movie experience. Good times.

              Here in the UK I got to know a guy who lived on his own and he had built racks in just about every room to store his disc collection. He also had a collection of players and I'd never seen anything like it before.
              Nice collection David.
