Okay, out of the Pinoneer CLD-704 and the Panasonic LX-900, which one
should I buy?
I've been looking at articles in this group, and at some of the laserdisc
1. Pioneer quality control is very bad. If you get one, you'll either
get one of the best laser disc players ever made, but, more than likely
you'll get a dud. The reviews I read were for the CLD-703, not the
CLD-704, though.
2. The Panasonic LX-900 seems to be many people's choice, and it looks
like I am leaning towards it, however, I read that a new model may
be coming out very soon. (Should I wait?)
Both the CLD-704 and LX-900 are supposed to have good digitial effects
and S-Video out (even though many seem to say that doesn't do much good
with laserdiscs).
However, I haven't seen anything to indicate that either of these players
have the AC-3 audio output, something that seems to be a very big deal in
the group. I find it strange that one of Pioneer's less expensive players
(CLD-604) has the AC-3, but that the top of the line 704 doesn't. Maybe
it does have AC-3?
About all the details I can get on these players comes from the mail
Digital Video Processing (DVP)
Variable Digital Noise Reduction (V-DNR)
DVP and V-DNR "together ensure jitter-free images" and perfect pictures
2 S-Video outputs with three line digital comb filter (why need 2??)
Twin 1-bit D/A converters (what is this?)
Direct CD with independent CD tray (sounds nice)
does it have AC-3 out?
Panasonic LX-900
Karaoke (like I really want to let people stand 3 feet in front of my
TV and sing in my room sending spit everywhere)
"advanced digital technology" (is this similar to DVP and V-DNR above?)
Advanced Digital TBC--includes special error compensation system
used in professional broadcast video equipment (what's this?)
Dual Magnet Clamp (huh?)
does it have S-video out?
does it have AC-3 out?

I hope you ended up with the Panasonic LX-900 because from what I read of it in the year 2020 it's considered one of the best high end laserdisc players. Also, this a lot for me to read through but I will skim it the best I can.should I buy?
