Re: Laserdisc questions

I have 900 + laserdiscs (plus 600+ DVDs) and many of the LDs are fiims and concerts that have never been issued on DVD or never will.
DVD still has the better picture but if you can find late model LDs with Dolby Digital or DTS you will find that the sound is better on the LD (you will need a built in or outboard RF demodulator to hear these tracks, however)

So yes, I still watch Laserdiscs and also use my LD payer for CDs (some late model Pioneer LD players, like my CLD-79 and others, have a separate drawer for CDs which, when engaged, disconnects the video circuitry).

You should experimnt on the LD video hookup with both composite and "S" connections because it varies from setup to setup (on mine the composite has the better picture).
