CED Digest Vol. 4 No. 5  •  1/30/1999

Subject: PAL (UK) CED players and discs
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1999 17:37:15 -0000

Does anyone know many CED titles were released in the UK, or any other
countries outside the US? Information seems very hard to come by!

I recently obtained two movies on CED - Rollerball (7708031262) and
Poltergeist (7708030165); both MGM/UA titles, made and distributed by RCA.
They are both stereo discs (dated 1983) and have PAL/UK printed at the
bottom right of the front label. This was the first time I had ever seen any
PAL CED discs, and so far I've been unsuccessful in finding any others, or
any players for that matter! I contacted MGM/UA in the UK but they seemed
unaware of the format's existence...

So, is there anyone who has a definitive list of UK CEDs or, even better, a
player and discs they'd like to sell?! Any info would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Mike.

ONe of you said that the Rescuers movie  is not on the CED list.

I think  I saw it in a TV repair shop, under a CED player. The owner says 
the machine is broken.

I saw a whole lot of Disney titles in there, and I think I saw Bernard 
and Bianca on the cover.

I'll go there this week and see if I saw right, or I was hallucinating 
the cover on a similarly hued label (almost the same color as another 
label)

Also owners of the cellofilm movie will see their reels gain value, as 
Disney is changing their stock. If I were you guys, I wouldn't need to 
change it, cause it whizzes by at 24 frames a sec. If someone asks, then 
I don't know what this world is coming to.

Subject: WTB: SJT 400 remote and interactive discs

I am looking for a working SJT 400 remote and a few interactive discs like the
Michaelangelo disc, A Walk Through the Universe, and the Space Shuttle disc.
Please let me know if you have any of these items for sale.  Thanks,
