Post subject:  Hello All

My name is John, brand new to the LD world (I did see one in elementary school.)

At any rate, I just purchased a Pioneer CLD-V880 at the Thrift for $14.00, and I had a few disc already. I'm getting an error when trying to play any of the three films I own, the player says "no disc." It came with a Karaoke disc inside, and that plays fine. Is there a compatibility issue with older discs in this unit?

Thank you in advance.

Edit: Looks like Laser Rot. All three discs are BLACK.

Never saw a black LD, can you post a picture of it.
Makes me think its not actually an LD.

Those are not laserdiscs. They are CEDs. That is a completely different technology.

Welcome to LDDb!

So in the end these are indeed CEDs and not LDs.
I don't think taking the discs our of the CED cartridge did them any good, you might consider them for cover art display only, unless you ever buy a CED Player.

They are:

Death Wish (1974) [00611]
Thing, The (1982) [11015]
First Blood (1982) [RCA 12143]

So, for now, it's Karaoke only since your LD Player is a Karaoke model as well :D

It looks like a capable player (AC3RF, dual side, etc.) and you might want to try a few LDs for fun!

I'm late to this thread but welcome to the forum! I hope you have a great time.

I rarely ever see any CEDs, I've always been curious about the format but never taken the plunge. Are you going to try and get a CED player too?
