my new panasonic lx-101
Today I picked up a Panasonic laserdisk player model number lx-101. I was curious just to ask does this thing play DVD's or VCD's? I only ask be cause on the data sheet it says that it plays cd's mini cd's and compact disks with a video section?

There were many somewhat confusing video disc formats in the 1990s. That machine will not play "Video CD" discs (CD-size discs with one hour of digital video/audio), but it will play "CD-Video" discs (CD-size discs with five minutes of analog video/digital audio, plus 20 minutes of digital audio). CD-Video discs were a short-lived format; maybe a couple of hundred titles were released. Some brands used that name for full-sized Laser Discs, as well. Just to make it even more confusing, it will also play "Compact Laser Disc" discs (12-inch discs with maybe 10 minutes of analog video/digital audio, plus 45-50 minutes of digital audio). Nothing "compact" about those!
