CED VideoDisc and Player Discussion

To quote my Security+ training manual:

"The only safe network is one NOT connected to the Internet."

(If Yahoo can be hacked, who is to say that Facebook is not next.)

Do all of the monos have the same hookup to the TV? Mine has only a coaxial port. No RCAs.

I'd like to get a stereo with a remote but someone offered me a very nice mono Zenith and I'm leaning ...

I've alwyas thought the 75's,90's,100's and 101's were mono and all the 200's on up were stereo?? I've never actually studied it in depth. I know I'm not interested in mono players.

Sounds good for ...

Go to the CEDmagic.com website and look at the CED museum. It would be tedious; but, you could go through the descriptions of each player and find out the ones that are mono.

Go to http://forum.lddb.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=38 for the SJT-400 service manual.

I was wondering if you still clean and grade the Hitachi cartridges? I have 5 of them that I have no idea what their condition is. I have a 6'th one; but, you have cleaned and graded it in the past. ...

I am into my 3'rd month of my 69'th year.

I bought my first player (a 934.54780150) in Aug. 1983 at a Sears store in Binghamton, NY. My first CED was Time Bandits which my mother loved to watch ...

Hi everyone,

Greetings from Belfast, Northern Ireland. I hope this message finds you all well.

I recently purchased a PAL 'Hitachi VIP201P' videodisc player.

I am trying to find a replacement ...

Jesse Can you explain this to me a little more? You mean it would actually have 4 separate channels on a home theater? Sorry for my ignorance.

Yes, the disc would have four different audio tracks ...

Go to http://manuals.lddb.com/CED_Players/ for a copy of the SJT-400 service manual. Hopefully, there is not much of a difference between the SJT and the SKT models.

I think that TOM may have bought and reviewed this book in 2002.

That is entirely possible.

I am going to add the "book" to my CED library: the book and an SJT-400 service manual. Not ...

This book is available from Amazon:

WHEW! Perhaps we ought to chip in and let you get more goodies for Christmas dinner... but also, which operating system do you use?

Linux Fedora 16 (I know it is old)

If you have a good scanner you can make your own PDF files. Adobe Photoshop will at least make single page PDF files, binding them would be the thing but I do believe there are other PDF maker program ...

I got the book today. It is no easy read. The book is split about equally between LD and CED troubleshooting. The vast majority of the book consists of circuit diagrams with explanations of what ea ...

I am not sure what belt you are talking about. The V5000H has 2 loading belts known as the "Hitachi (Late) Arm Drive or Loading Belt". You can get the belt from CEDmagic.com. Go to the dr ...

Well, I guess I can pony up to the bar on this. I have 6 of the Hitachi styluses in stock and could afford to give up one for a fellow hobbyist. Of the 6, I have one that has been graded B- by CEDat ...

Also, the service manuals for the J players are available at:

This is just an FYI.

This post can be ended as the disc has been bought.

I would have bought it except that I do not have a Zenith player.

Here is another oldie but a goodie:

A very nice and helpful post. I have one of the Bring the Magic Home disc that is in as good a shape as the one you posted. I cannot seem to find it in the CED titles database however.

I have 5 c ...

Welcome back forum. It has been about 3 weeks since your "crash". I hope you will be available for a long time as we users have to keep the CED video format alive for a few more years.

I know it says it was sold. However, I had it in my watch list and when you clicked on it, at the top it says that the seller had removed the item from listing. Either way, it is no longer availabl ...

I guess there is no hurry on this disc. The seller closed the auction without selling it.

He apparently did not get an acceptable offer from anyone.

FYI

First off, I would never put anything on a CED even fingerprints.There have been reports on this forum of people rinsing a CED with distilled water. Such treatment has always been discouraged. The C ...

I know what you mean about prices not being right. I bought a laserdisc box set of Ben Hur off Amazon for $1.00 plus $4.95 shipping. The box set consists of 4 LD's with the movie and a 5'th LD with ...
