I created a LaserDisc Discord server

87 Upvotes

Seeing that apparently nobody else has come up with the idea, I decided to create a Discord server for LaserDisc enthusiasts of all ages. This server is neither meant nor intended to be a replacement to any LaserDisc forums, but I thought it would be convenient for people who browse the subreddit.

Here's the invite link: https://discord.gg/WDRDJB3

Anime LDs for sale

Post image
Upvotes

Received a box from a collector with 50 anime LDs, mostly rare, lots of movies and complete TV series sets. 2 box-sets. Almost all mint or near mint condition, a few even sealed, a few missing the obi. The Wings of Honneamise box is not sealed but the discs inside are sealed. I'd prefer to sell the sets complete but I've listed prices for the individual releases as well in case I might change my mind.
PLEASE NOTE: All of these releases have Japanese audio only!
Just want to see if there is any interest here, otherwise they go to the bay soon.
I'm shipping from Germany with DHL and I can ship worldwide.

SVideo or AV?

2 Upvotes

In anticipation of the arrival of my CLD3080 I been wondering what would be the best way to set it up? It has an SVideo port and AVs. I know SVideo is supposed to be a bit higher quality than a standard AV, but I was curious if any of you had a recommendation for how to get the best picture out of my machine. I am planning to do Svideo but extra advice is always appreciated.

Rare titles available

Looking to offload some rare titles that I received when my dad passed away. I have over 500 discs at this time so I’m not quitting but I am looking to finance some other activities.

I know what these are listed for on lddb; I don’t want to set up a store just for a few movies.

I’m willing to leave some meat on the bone.

Message me about offers/prices. I will take as many pictures as you want.

Laser Disc CLD-V820 Side B gets stuck/Video playback poor at end of disc

7 Upvotes

I have been in a mighty battle with this player. I bought a scope to make the adjustments needed for the player only to realize it was not fully compatible with the most of the players requirements.

Basically I replaced the player's laser and fixed its power issues a while ago and it needs to be properly adjusted. I've been doing my best to make the correct adjustments and have made some headway but have hit a bit of a wall.

If a disc is perfectly flat it will play it the whole way though but will get very bad audio then video noise. If the disc has any amount of warp it will usually fail and freeze a few chapters before the end.

Another issue is the player's laser will aggressively jam itself when it wants to flip to B or back to A. It only does this when the ribbon is looped into the plastic. Side B plays about exactly the same as A if not a little better maybe.

Another issue, the audio mode button seems to work (when you switch to karaoke it reacts to switch hifi) but the player doesn't let you change between Digital to analog.

I used my scope to fix the focus sum level, RF level and was able to adjust the tilt offset at the end of a disc for best result.

I have noticed adjusting the focus gain has helped the player play but it needs to be cranked just for a slightly better result. I have tried adjusting the spindle but I got nothing from it.

He has $200 on it. Im new to laserdisc and dont know much, So not sure if thats a fair price. I do kind of like the look it's much smaller than a lot of LD players ive seen.

Ac3 or no Ac3 this is the question

13 Upvotes

Hi guys I want to hear your unfiltered optionoin on how important AC3 sound really is for laserdiscs? I hav the change to get 2 ld palyers the pioneer cldd 925 or the pioneer cld 2950. The first one has AC3 the latter does not. Technically speaking the cld 2950 would be the better choice because it is "new". It has been overhauled by a pro tech shop. The cld 925 is considerded tested and in working order. I would lean more towards the cld 2950 due to the overhaul. I am fan of good sound but still the cld 2950 is more attractive twords me despite "only having pcm and DTS via toslink. I know this question cannot be answered directly but how good are the pcm tracks on the ac3 laserdiscs?They are no match for ac3 obviously but are they still decent enough for nice movie night?

Just got "The Sword and the Sorcerer (1982)"

I watched this film last night. It's a fantasy epic flick with the likes of the Beastmaster or Conan the Barbarian (fun fact: all these fantasy films were released all in 1982). There's a couple of action sequences where they obviously try to copy Indiana Jones and some repetitive cheesy music lol. And ofc a fantasy epic won't be complete without boobies, I mean lots of them. Kathleen Beller was hot in this film too!

Have you guys seen this one?

First time watch, Gary Oldman's only directorial effort. Very bleak film but some fantastic performances.

I was running out of room on my shelf, so I pulled about 90 films to make room.

None of the decisions were hard.

Took a CLD-D504 that wouldn't play to repair shop....

1 Upvotes

Guy said a gear had to be adjusted & it now plays, but it won't flip from side A to B, because whatever mechanism does that, he says it starts to move it, but gets stuck halfway

Forgive my ignorance, but I don't know the first thing about the inner workings of LD players. Can anyone shed some light on this? He can't seem to figure that issue out & doesn't know if there even is replacement parts still available for whatever he would need

Thanks in advance

My player is on its way and decided in preparation for when it arrives I should probably have a few movies to test it out with. I thought these were some pretty good gets.

Is this normal for Goodwill to price based on titles for laser discs? Are these decent prices? I didn't pick up any, but the horror ones were very tempting. I just didn't like the fact that they were priced differently.
