Re: Laserdisc questions

1. Only LDs released in the late ninties have DD 5.1 or (even rarer) DTS 5.1. You need a built in or external RF demodulator to play the DD tracks. Original LD players had analog only sound and then both analog and digital.
2. Late players play two sides. Late Pioneer models also have a separate drawer for CDs which, when engaged, disconnects the video circuitry for truly high end CD sound.
3. Just about every player made has pause, stop, play, fast mo, slow mo, search, and last memory. The later players are more user friendly in this regard.
4. An excellent source of information, repair, parts, and new old stock and used sales is Bayview Electronics in Lacey, Washington. Just Google "laserdisc repair" and you'll find them. Duncan there is a pleasure to work with and is quite knowledgeable.
