CED VideoDisc and Player Discussion

Hi all!

What a great community here. Just won a working SGT-090 on ebay and have a few questions if ya don't mind

1 - The SGT-090 is an autoloader but only does mono sound correct?
2 - Where does one get a cartridge for it? Seller said its works great but wanted to have a replacement on stand by
3 - The SGT-090 only has cable style twist coax out. I have an HDTV but the antenna in is not being used (all things are HDMI) I can use that antenna in right? If not, how can you convert a single coax to a yellow red white composite?

Thanks all and looking forward to chatting with everyone about this fascinating device!

as long as you dont put a sick disc in the player the stylus should last for several hundreds of plays, maybe 1000, we dont know for sure, but as long as a healthy disc goes in the player, it should last awhile. never touch the actual surface of the disc, even the oils from your finger will ruin the playback quality, sometimes discs have bits of dust on them and they will skip on playback, but mostly get better after several plays. never ever stack the discs flat, they can get compression damage.

if i were you, i would save my money and use the coax connection it came with at first.

also, this model player is supposed to be shipped with shipping locks which go in under either side of the front fascia panel, if they arent removed before the player is turned on it will break the player, if the player is shipped without the locks, the player can be damaged in shipping. just want to warn you.

Awesome thanks for all the great info!

Yeah hes just shipping the unit from ebay so I don't think he has any sort of shipping locks at all. Is there anything I can tell him to use at all?

Thanks again for all the great advise!

I've been seeing some NOS cartridges floating around ebay recently for $50. I too found a SJT-090 as my first player, the quality of the coax and mono audio steered me quickly into acquiring a sjt-300.

What you need is a RF demodulator to use AV cables, check Goodwill if you have one in your area, I come across radioshack models nearly every time i go.
