Sounds about right. Press 2 disks then glue them together to make 1 completed laserdisk.
I remember when laserdisk added a digital audio track. That was cool. You got analog video, and your choice of analog or digital audio. I remember when laserdisk added an AC3 track. Well, they added an ac3 track but delete an analog channel. That irritated me a little. I had, and still have some analog audio ONLY laserdisk player. This meant that the ac3 disk would play back in mono on these player. Ya know, the laserdisk reference parallels closer to dual "mode" repeaters than one might think. Analog video (never changed) Analog audio AND digital audio on the same media Reduce the analog bandwidth in favor of a new "feature rich" digital medium. ;) Yes, my poor brain thinks that way Kb0wlf Oh yes, my "main" laserdisk player still runs through a dwin line doubler > -----Original Message----- > From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Repeater- > buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Mike Morris > Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2010 12:51 AM > To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com > Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Converting the Kenwood TKR-820 to > use with D-STAR > > An acquaintance of mine worked at one of the laserdisk > manufacturing plants for about a year.
