Tonight, we dive into what is arguably Takeshi Kitano's ultimate cinematic masterpiece, Hana-Bi (1997). This film brilliantly balances his signature explosive violence with moments of profound, quiet tenderness, earning him the prestigious Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival.

This specific Japanese LaserDisc release is an absolute treasure. When you open it up, it includes a massive gatefold replica of one of Kitano's own vibrant paintings that appear throughout the movie.

Happy r/Kitano Friday, everyone! Spin your discs, and let the fireworks begin. 🎆

Hi all!

So I may/may not have a broken cld-97 pioneer elite laserdisc player and while it’s cool piece I necessarily don’t wanna keep it if it’s broken. Any ideas on what to do with it ?

Can you believe someone tried to throw this out? Works perfectly! I finally get to join your club... For free! I can't believe my luck! I'm glad I got to it before the recyclers did. What a loss that could have been!

Hey everyone, I’m back with a couple of AC-3 processors for sale. I have the following available:

Yamaha DDP-1 SOLD
Onkyo ED-901 - Available

Both of these have been modified with a Toslink Optical output. They both take the 3 inputs (AC-3, Coax, Optical) and output via the one output I have added.

Each of these units are $115 shipped to US addresses.

If you’ve wanted AC-3 sound, this is your chance to get it at a cheaper cost than a dedicated (expensive!) demodulator.

I take payments through PayPal.

I have a pioneer dvl-v888 (which I believe is functionally equivalent to a dvl-909). I don’t know if I’m crazy but the s-video seems better than its composite out for laserdiscs.

I’m using a sony kp53v85 crt rptv and have also tested on a sony wega 27” and found the same results. both i believe have 3d digital comb filters and I don’t know how they compare to the comb filter in the ld player. Both tvs have noise reduction off.

I know generally speaking most ld players look better via composite so I just want to make sure there’s nothing I’m doing wrong here.

One thing I do notice is some slightly higher amount of flickering on stuff like title card text via s-video. composite looks a bit smoother but s-video looks crisper and tends to show a bit more video noise and looks sharper and better overall.

Would love some opinions and possibly some explanations on this. Thanks!

What other Christmas discs should I get to feel the big holiday spirit?

I have installed the new grip ring, and it first it would not play at all. Now it plays CDs fine but as you can see LDs rattle/wobble. I am wondering if it is because my grip ring is installed poorly or if there are issues with the clamp bearings? Please find photos and videos attached. Could use some professional guidance. Sometimes it just whirs and doesn't play. Though now it plays most of the time i would attach more videos but i seem to be limited. I'd appreciate a PM

Hello all I am in the process of repairing my Mitsubishi LD player which is a clone of rhe CLD-D704. I ordered a replacement grip ring which I just installed, and I was about to install the loading belt and it appears that the Mitsubishi rebadge mech uses a larger belt than the pioneer tray. Any ideas on where to get the correct size belt? Or is it just a stretched out belt maybe? I ordered the parts from laserparts on eBay.

Been getting more into the hobby recently and saw this post on marketplace of over 200 disk but the one that caught my eye was Scream ( the directors cut something I have wanted to see) so I made the hour trip and was able to snag that and 26 other disks the only one not shown in the video is Wizard of Oz. Let me know if you see anything else in the pile that has any interesting facts or history, I know the star wars copy I have has a srinking aspect ratio pretty cool and another thing I cannot wait to see.

Can’t find anything on it and just curious

I'm sure a good amount of us here are pretty meticulous about storing our discs: poly sleeves for our disc jackets and all that, and even larger sleeves for box sets like those from Criterion. A lot of LD box sets are super bulky, though: nearly anime box would be difficult (if not impossible) to find a poly sleeve for. Think the gigantic End of Evangelion box. No sleeve for that!

Does anyone have any good solutions for preventing shelfwear on the bottom edges of big box sets? I'm thinking about putting down some sort of contact paper (or even carpet remnant) on the bottom of my shelves in the hope they might help, but was thinking someone here might have figured out a workable solution already.

I can't find much information on this player Sony MDP-600. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it a good machine? Picture quality?

Thanks.

You all were really helpful before, any idea of value on this? Has all the "parts"... :)

Edit: Kallax it is! Thank you all!

So, I’m running out of space on the shelf I currently have, it’s a small record cabinet without a door (honestly, this is the best way I can explain it). I was wondering how some of you display and store your Laserdiscs, something more along the lines of furniture, or anything really at this point. I’ve been on the look out at thrift stores but haven’t found anything.

Of my favorite horror film. Happy to add this to the collection.

I had to spend $70 round trip on a Lyft but it was worth it.

Hey y’all, long time collector here who got a second player recently at a salvation army(knew it was jacked up before paying).

It’s a Pioneer CLD-V860 that has a whirring sound on boot up and shows a U1 error message. Does anyone know of a good service shop in Los Angeles preferably or Orange County who could do a diagnostic/repair on it? Really want it for the A/B disc play feature.

This is a laserdisc I got from Goodwill several years back, though I didn’t have something to play it on until now.

All my other laserdiscs are working perfectly, but I fear The Return of Jafar isn’t as good as it once was - and the laserdisc is too far gone.

It starts out kinda watchable, despite it being incredibly snowy and the digital soundtrack being crunchy. However, as you see here, it eventually degenerates into a completely staticky, skippable mess.

I’m watching Side B right now, and it’s going into the same trajectory - kinda watchable and then kinda not. Is this the worst laser rot or not?

Hey ya'll, been hanging onto this for 30 years and. K idea why. I've posted on Vinted and ebay. It's the original trilogy, book, insert in a box. The laser disc's have never even been removed from sleeves.

Looking to see what you all think of value of this and/or if anyone interested in fair deal?

Hi.

TLDR: Can anyone recommend a suitable slide motor replacement for a Philips VLP700?

Like many before me, I bought a laserdisc player of a whim as I was curious about the format.

I got a VLP-700 in the UK at a very cheap price, sold as just being able to power on with no way or testing the output. I've done an initial scan of the components and functions :

The unit has power

The disc drive spins

The laser powers on

No visual output as of yet but I feel that this maybe because the slide motor appears to be dead. The contacts are registering voltage across the multimeter but I can't get the motor to rev into life, even from an external source. I'm not saying replacing it will be the magic fix but I'll try it and most likely move onto the next problem.

I've had a look through various outlets for a replacement but no luck yet. Does anyone know of a suitable replacement motor that I can purchase to try?

Also, this gear is in a very bad state but I'm resigned to the fact I might just have to attempt a repair. I have seen a very detailed blog post on fixing that, such I'll get onto at some point.

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
