Subject: Sherman Oaks Galleria Closes

There was a segment on the news about the closing of this shopping mall where
the CED classics "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and "Valley Girl" were filmed.
There's one scene in Fast Times set in front of an audio store in which I tried
to spot any CED's in the background, but from a distance they all looked like
12" audio LP's. There's always a chance of spotting CED's or players in the
background in movies from this 1982 to 1984 time frame. An article on the closing
of the Galleria plus some links to 80's web sites can be found here:

Subject: PAL CEDs...

Recently resurrected a Hitachi VIP2010P that I bought for a couple of
quid at a car-boot sale and hunting around the net for anything about it,
stumbled upon cedmagic & this mailing list - great website BTW.
Anyway, I got around 30 films with the player which I thought was pretty
good, but saw the huge list of releases on cedmagic.  What I would like
to know, however, is this list NTSC format only, or were the releases the
same over this side of the pond?

Also, anyone know figures for the sales of the CED player and films in the
UK/Europe?  So far people I've spoke to have been amazed at its existance
and the good picture from an LP, so to speak.  So it's not a common item here.

- Matt.

Hi all,
I just got one of these players for $8.00 and it doesn't seem to work. When a 
disk is inserted and play is pressed, the disk spins up, the time indicator 
just displays -- and a short burst of  video with no sync appears on the 
screen. I want to be fix this unit I can do many electronic repairs my self 
and since this uses commonly available parts this should be doable. Also is 
there a way to convert this to a stereo unit and is there a way to add video 
and audio output to it. Thanks in advance.
Matt
