    Pioneer CLD-S201 Laserdisc player

    Can anybody tell me anything about this player aside from the info at: http://www.laserdiscarchive.co.uk/la...r_cld-s201.htm I assume it is 49 dB S/N for the video, can anyone confirm that? I'm having a heck of a time finding a laserdisc player locally. I found a CLD-D702 and a CLD-53 both...

    WTB: Laserdisc player

    I'm looking for a laserdisc player with digital audio out (need not have AC-3 RF out), 49-50 dB or higher S/N ratio, and 2 sided play. I'd prefer Pioneer but would consider clones or other quality players. Email me if you have a player that meets these criteria. I'm looking to stay under $150 at...

    Denon laserdisc player

    Can anyone tell me anything good or bad about Denon LD players? I found a used electronics shop that just got one in but it was packed away and the owner said in need of minor repair for the drawer mechanism (he offers a return period of a couple weeks so I guess if his repair is faulty, it...

    Where to buy laserdisc players

    I am wanting to buy a laserdisc player and am wondering what type of local places I can look in addition to the internet. I'm not fond of having one shipped (I have heard stories where the players didn't take to shipping very well regardless of packing - since it would not be the original box)...

    WTB: laserdisc player & Star Wars

    I am looking to buy an inexpensive laserdisc player and the Star Wars trilogy. I would prefer both from one person and would certainly consider separately but I would want the player first so that I didn't somehow end up with laserdiscs I can't use. I would prefer the original THX trilogy or...

    How tough are Prontos?

    Physically, I mean. I am ready to buy one but realized that my living room is hard on remotes. If I am not knocking the remote off of the arm of the Lazy Boy (onto a carpeted floor), I'm sitting on it or the dog (big dog) is sitting on it. Would a Pronto be short-lived in my house, or is it...

    Remote: hard vs. soft buttoned

    I'm looking for a new remote control and was convinced that I needed a hard buttoned remote. Now that I think about it though, my current hard buttoned remote controls every function I need to control in my setup. The problem is that half of the functions are hidden on mis-labeled or poorly...

    Need "wife friendly" remote

    I need some help fiding a new remote. I currently have a Sony RM-VL900 but I need something more effective. The problem is that it doesn't have enough buttons for each component and I have buttons programmed to do things that are completely different than what the button says (for example, I...

    DIY Sealed Tempest Pics

    Here is a web page I created with some pictures of my new DIY sealed Tempest. All I can say is I love this thing! I'm so glad I went DIY because there's no way I could have bought anything even remotely close to this for $300. Plus I got to choose the exact design and finish. DIY is...

    Is Twister at CH really the SE version?

    On Columbia House's website, they list Twister as "Special Edition", but in the "Sound" section it mentions only DD and not DTS and they show a picture of the non SE version. The big thread at DVD Talk lists Twister SE under the DTS titles, but that contradicts CH's picture and description...

    Sealed DIY sub questions

    After being talked into a DIY sub as opposed to a cheap Sony, (see this thread) I'm ready to get into the design process. I'm planning on running over to PE to pick up the 300-794 plate amp while it's still on sale for $125. Can everyone agree that this is the best I can do for this price as...

    Sony SAWM40 ($135) vs. DIY sub

    Hi all, I have been considering a DIY sub for awhile to replace my piece'o'crap old 50 watt sub (it's really pathetic). If I did this, it would probably be centered around the Parts Express 250W amp ($125) with an inexpensive (
