Re: New DVD player for me!
Another thought is that I could get some RCA to XLR cables, for the audio.

Laserdisc... That brings back some memories!
I still have my Dads Pioneer somewhere. :biggrin2:
A big monster that plays both sides. Quite a few laserdiscs and some he never opened!

Bummer! You can get component switchers, but it may not be worth the trouble and expense.

I used to have one that flipped. It was an interesting mechanism for sure. Something happened to it, when I moved. I hadn't used it since moving and decided to use it to play a CD (it would do those too) and it wouldn't turn on. I ended up selling it to a guy on ebay that repaired them and resold them. It was capable of karaoke, but was essentially a home model. The one I have now is a commercial model meant to play over and over again. I've got to flip the disc over, but that's fine. It's built like a tank. The drawer is actually strong enough to push stuff out of the way, when opening :-)

Yeah, it's not worth it to me. I don't watch that many DVD's, and I'd rather keep things simple. If I were going to add something to the system it would be a pre-amp.

I understand there is still a market for Laserdisc players.... Pirates love them for some reason.

Well the first Star Wars movies on DVD were copies of the Laserdiscs........ or so I've heard.

It's because pirates wear an eye patch and have a parrot squawking in one ear. They are not likely to adopt 3D Blu-ray and 7.1 surround anytime soon.

Hmmmm. Good point. I was thinking it might be the lack of a copy guard. :biggrin2:
