forty-six-and-2 wrote: While I do already have an excellent LaserDisc player (Pioneer Elite CLD-59), I've been curious about the VP-1000 lately. I've been wanting to make some DVD rips of a few DiscoVision films and I've heard the VP-1000 is one of the best DiscoVision players out there, and the shorter-wavelength HeNe laser is supposed to be better for tracking. My CLD-59 has never had any trouble with DiscoVision, however, so would I be gaining anything with the VP-1000? How do the picture/audio quality compare to a more modern player? Having owned a PR-7820 you only have BNC and Coaxial for video out. on the VP-1000 you only have coaxial and possibly BNC???? you won't be be getting any better picture from that over say your 59 on Discovision titles. Its not like these players will magically make discs play any better, you may get a 5-15% difference and for the value now its really not worth it anymore. Now if you find one locally then take the risk.
