There are MANY films on LD that have not yet appered or wil lnever appear on DVD. I use my player regularly and have two backups.
BTW, an LD player makesd a wonderful high end sounding CD player, particularly those late Pioneer models which feature a separate CD drawer which, when engaged, disconnects the video circuitry for even better sound. So you can get rid on another box.

"CD Direct" on LD players - djprobed 08:08:21 04/23/04 (4)
Mine is a Pioneer CLD-701; it doesn't have the separate CD drawer, but does have a button called "CD Direct" which accomplishes the same thing, though it doesn't engage automatically (you have to press it).
A worthwhile investment for movie maniacs, any way you slice it!

  BTW, what does that feature purport to do? I have something called "soft picture," but it only works with the S-video output, which I don't use since my TV doesn't have an S-video input

    is a proprietary Pioneer technology which "expands" bits for allegedly better music reproduction. Whatever it does, it works and makes CDs sound really sweet and more analog like.

  Plus the CD sound rivals that of expensive high end stand alone CD players. I have posted before that this is one of audio's best kept secrets.
  Does your 701 have the so-called "Legato Link"?
