	Well, of the five I've gotten, four have discolored

laserdisc player problem (and it seems he knows all about player
problems) I think that this is a pseudo-common pressing problem.

Jimmy:
Thanks for the reply.
your reply is the only one I received so far.
I am looking to buy a sing-along machine (or karaoke) for my kids, To me, the
karaoke machine looks exact as a regular LD player + a micphone input + mixer,
but I am not sure that to buy a regular LD player + a mixer will work., because
I do not sure the real difference between a karaoke machine and a LD player.
Since a stand along karaoke machine cost $200 -$300 more than a regular LD
player, If I can use a regular LD player + a mixer, it will be much cheaper. Is
that true? Since to spend $200 more for a kids toy may not be a good choice if
I can buy a one with lower cost.
Now I do not have LD player, nor have mixer. I can not get more information
about how a karaoke machine works from a local karaoke machine dealer, beacuse
they only know the function of a karaoke but they don`t know whether there is a
relation between a karaoke and a LD player.
You told me that you have used a LD player and a mixer, I am glad that you can
tell me some of your experience:
1.Dose the regular LD player can play a karaoke-LD and seperate the music and
vocal at it audio output?
2.What kind of audio mix is best suit for that purpose?
3.To use regular LD player to play karaoke-LD what mode should be used? anolog
mode or digital mode?
4.Or if I am going to buy a integrated karaoke machine instead of a regular LD
player + a mixer, is the karaoke machine can play regular LD movie like a LD
player?
 I am looking forward to see your reply
Thanks in advance

No suggestions on the player, but what about the disc?  "The Prisoner" is

If you can't buy a new disc, my reference article LD#13 (Care&Repair)

I have looked at the Aiwa CM-Z3 zoom microphone but it looks really

(makes me think there is a sleeve in it which goes around the electret
microphone to give it direction).  They also wanted $110 for it.

Does anyone have an suggestions for me on a microphone that can be

You didn't include a :-), so I'm not sure if you are serious or not.

I bought a VCR+ because we have the same Cable-Box vs VCR programming
problem that afflicts lots of others. The VCR can't control the cable
box to select HBO for one program, and then A+E for another. The VCR+
handles this nicely.

> Seriously, buying a VCR+ is like buying a Betamax.  Proprietary systems
> are not a good investment in the long run.

Betamax was/is no more proprietary than VHS. It just never became as
popular. Are you saying that we should skip VHS, BETA, Laserdisc, Hi8,
S-VHS and Compact Disc because those are all proprietary formats, and
thus not a good long term investment?

If enough people purchase VCR+, it won't go away. The fact that some
manufacturers are now putting it into their VCRs tells me it's probably
pretty popular. I still don't understand why they don't all put the smarts
in their remotes, though. A VCR with built in VCR+ does not handle the
cable box programming problem.

In any case, compared to my VCR on-screen programming (which I have to
fire up the TV to use) not to mention the horrible menu interface which
the VCR presents, the VCR+ is very nice to program. I can certainly
program it 10 times faster than my VCR which probably says more about the
lousy VCR interface than it does about VCR+. The point is, the VCR+ has a
very simple, well designed interface, which many VCRs don't.

First, don't buy the CLD-V510, at least get the CLD-V710/720, it is about
$100 more. Because CLD-V510 does not have the very important shift-key
capability (more about this later...).

I and my friends had done some research on Karaoke. Ordinary mixier is not
good enough for the purpose of Karaoke for two reasons :

(1) A ordinary mixer will only mix your voice with the vocal on the source
(from LD, CD, tape...) but a real Karaoke mixer with the properly recorded
source can remove the vocal part from the source. Thus, your voice is the
only vocal accompanied by the background music.

(2) The Karaoke part of most of Pioneer LD players and some advanced
Karaoke mixer (such as Pioneer MA-9) allow you to shift the key of the
background music. This is a very useful feature that allows each singer
to adjust the key to suit his/her voice.

A Karaoke mixer that does not have the shift key capability costs about
$100 - $150 and the ones with shift key capability costs about $300.
Also, Pinoeer MA-9 is not available in U.S. market at this time. The MA-9
I have seen from my friend is bought from Japan directly. Recently, I
have seen some ads selling Taiwanese Karaoke mixer with the feature comparable
to MA-9 and its price is $279.

So, if you bought the bottom-of-the-line LD for $229, add a ordinary Karaoke
mixer $100 will cost you $329 but you don't have the shift-key feature.
If you bought the $229 LD with the $279 Taiwanese Karaoke mixer, it will cost
you $508. So, in summary, if you don't need the shift-key capability, buy
a cheap LD and a Karaoke mixer. Otherwise, purchase a Pioneer Karaoke LD
may not be a bad idea to get a decent Karaoke system.

I just received and viewed my LBX copy of Star Wars on my Panasonic and it

Could be the player ...

I know LD's and VHS tapes are different animals, but I have a blotchy
tinting problem with my old VCR.  I took 3 videos back to Target claiming
they were defective and I got embarrassed when they played fine on their

Hello there,

Last week when I gave a VideoParty I played the Aliens CAV boxed set
(NTSC)...
I used a strange setup because I had to use two TVs to play the movie on...
I connected the digital-track output to one TV and the analog-track signal to
the other.

On side 2 there's an echo effect when you listen to both the analog and
digital tracks...
How is that possible?

I always thought that during the mastering of a LD the source signal is
splitted to a digital and an analog signal.
Now that I've seen this I don't know what happens during mastering.
Are there two/three tapes played simultaniously during mastering of
LDs?

(One tape for the Video, another for the Digital Sound and maybe yet
another for the analog sound...)

Anyone? (Uncle Bob?)

Hi. Has anyone got any experience of a VCR causing sound and image

When the VCR is switched on and I am watching one of our VHF channels
I get a droning noise in the speakers and snow on the screen. Most
annoying!! Curiously (for me!), that doesn't happen with UHF stations.
I've tried every possible setting on the TV without success. The VCR
is a self-setting one which means no obvious way of tinkering with its
settings.. 
I'd appreciate it if anyone could offer any pointers on how to remedy 
that problem; I've tried installing a commercial filter between VCR
and TV but to no avail.. Is it maybe a grounding problem? 
As you can probably guess, I'm no electronics expert d:^)
