  • I had one of those pieces of crap. I put the movie in and all the stupid thing would do is skip and freeze. I had it for about a year, then took it and all the movies to the dump.

  • The problem with Selectavision was it only played; VHS could record and play. Plus by the time it was released in 1981, VHS was firmly established.

  • A highly effective commercial. Hey, it's better to have tried and failed than to have never tried at all, especially in consumer electronics. I've never used Selectavision, but there is just something fun and collectable about defunct types of media formats.

  • Este CED trae logo del perrito con fonografo

  • This might have been the only brand name of CED videodisc player ever advertised on TV, eh?

  • @KarleeDiane2011 It plays like a record album which has a stylus. 

  • protip: when using that kind of player, dont slam the disc into the player like he did. You damage the mechanism that lets you pull the disc from the caddy

  • I had a later model of this, (didn't have the hard load/unload switch, just an eject button), that I bought in 1983. I had it until at least 1989 when it developed a problem where one corner of the screen showed only in red.

  • Interestingly, RCA's labs did create a re-recordable optical videodisc that was playable on standard consumer LaserVision/LaserDisc players. They invented it during the mid-70's for the industrial market and many of Pioneer and Philips patents reference or make use of RCA's optical recording technology. MCA invented the Master-V non-metal/non-photoresist DRAW disc for mastering - and started using it for consumer discs in mid-1980.

  • Yes that clip with the audio compressed into a 1 second sound burst was

    zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    erm, fascinating
