CED VideoDisc and Player Discussion

I sent an email, asking about music related titles, as usual.

No, nothing music related. Those will be among the titles I'll keep. The stuff I'm getting rid of are all movies. From reading other p ...

Well, I am at that point where I need to reduce my various collections because I just don't have space for all the defunct technology that I collect. I'm going to go through my CED discs and get rid o ...

Very nice restoration job. Looks great!

Wow! I used to have several of those before the flood got them. I rarely see these in that good of condition (though I can't tell from looking at the caddy if the discs themselves are good...but if ...

I was curious who has any of the CED cardboard advertising posters that were used by dealers as window displays. I'm curious what titles are out there for these and just how common they are. I've seen ...

Last week, I attempted to play my copy of Horton Hears a Who. I say attempted as the disc played about half side 1 before it began to skip. Well, any owner of CED's is familiar with skips and I was ...

Always good to see a fan of vintage gear. That's pretty much all my system consists of is higher end vintage gear. Quadraphonic Akai reel to reel decks, quad 8 track players, 4 track stereo cartridg ...

That's a bit out of my neck of the woods, but maybe if another member in the vicinity picks them up we can be treated to another sale like Tony just had with his latest find. Smile

Tony,

CEDs never had any sort of copy protection. Macrovision is accomplished by putting flashing white boxes in the vertical interval. CEDs already had time code there, so did laserdiscs which is why they ...

This sounds like what we used to get when trying to copy a Macrovision-encoded VHS tape. They put flashing white signal in the vertical blanking interval (the same off-screen portion of a TV picture ...

Is your your hookup through the RCA audio video plugs or coax. If the coax hookup works fine then it could be an impedance mismatch between the players and the TV. I had this problem with my old Sony ...

I can now add another "dead" format: HD_DVD. I just got a used player from e-bay a couple of days ago. The player cost me about $30.00 which includes shipping. The model is a Toshiba HD- ...

dr 8 track i have

summer of 42
barbarella
blues brothers
planet of the apes

these look a little more worn then some of the other discs, so i think 4 dollars plus shipping is fair?

So ...

Try this. Play a disc that has that moment of brightness and note the scene and minute when it happens.

Then play it again later on and see if that happens at the same point. That might tell you ...

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this playback symptom since I've experienced it on both of my players. When playing back a disc it plays fine, but will periodically get brighter for a sec ...

I'd love to get some friendly discussions going here. Seems like the forum has been rather dead latley. So please discuss. Some topics...

I would bet that moving the top panel out of the way cleared some weird and tiny obstruction out of the way or particle off the belt, etc. I had these two experiences:

On an RCA SGT 250, the playr ...

Okay, the toothed belt ought to be visible looking at the rear of the player, maybe from the lower part of from underneath. You may only be able to see a small part of it.

You should also look for ...

You can still find parts or suitable replacement parts for the rca sj/k players. Near impossible with hitachi style players now. Cedatum will not work on hitachi style players either but can fix liter ...

Then I think you either buy another one or send yours to the folks at Cedatum.com for inspection. When you take it out, you can look to see if the thin wire lead to the tip came loose too.

That belt is a toothed belt at the rear left side of the player looking from the front. Maybe that's the trouble.

If you can run the plyer with the cover off, maybe you can listen to find out wher ...

You don't happen to have access to another SJT or SKT player perhaps? If you do, you can take your stylus and put it in that other player to see if it is still good. That may help you to decide your ...
