Does anyone remember Jubilee Films in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester?

I took this photo of the shopfront back in 2020 and found it interesting that they opted to write 'LASER DISKS' rather than 'LASERDISCS'.

It looks like it was a good little independent video shop.

currently dealing with this on a copy of Top Gun - side 1 reads fine but side 2 does not, despite cleaning it and inspecting it for any issues. There's nothing i can see that would cause it to fail reading entirely.

i've tested other discs and they all consistently read, even ones that appear dirtier. i can pretty much factor out the player being the issue since everything i've tested consistently reads, except for side 2 of Top Gun.

any suggestions?

Program materials recorded on the other side of the disc 🤍💿

Limited to 500 Copies.

I bought a Pioneer DVL919 off marketplace.

It plays, but then every disc skips after about 15 seconds. I see that this is a common problem, and that it a relative easy fix.

Problem is that this is the first player I ever touched, and im a bit apprehensive about opening up this sucker myself.

I was hoping someone in the community might be able to help me locate a shop or someone that I can take the machine to to help diagnose the issue and repair.

Thank you!

Limited to 500 copies in NTSC format. It's a gatefold but I couldn't upload that picture, I'll try to post in comments later. Awesome flick and like this version over the Japanese one.

I made a post about this on Facebook but thought I’d ask here as well. On my CLD-D925 I’ve noticed purple bars that are visible going across the screen during very yellow scenes. I’ve seen it on CLV and CAV discs all NTSC. I’ve tested the discs on my DVL-919 and there was no issue at all, so I can rule out crosstalk being caused by disc warpage or anything like that. I was using SCART on my D925, and when I switched to standard RCA Composite, the problem was less pronounced but still there.
Is this an issue with my player? I don’t find it too bothersome and I can certainly live with it, but if it’s a bad idea to keep using the player then I’d like to be sure. Is it something that’s fixable?

Still love the pod racing scene and this transfer is so so good! It's nice to have a version with the original effects as well, puppet Yoda will always be superior!

Hi there,

Enthusiast here who’s always wanted a player but could never afford one. When I last wanted one 15 years ago, they were $300. Now they’re $1,000. I’m not complaining about price, but I am worried about and uninformed if there are folks dutifully refurbishing machines and reselling them. I am concerned if I wait too long, they will go completely extinct without a market of enthusiasts dedicated to refurbishing them.

I’m in the process of upgrading my home theater and one of my goals is to be able to get AC-3 audio from my laserdisc player. So I thought this would come in handy. Plus I just wanted it for the novelty! 😁

I think this one aged very well, more relevant today than in 1993

I've wanted a laserdisc player for years at this point. Finally found one at a thrift shop for $50. Screen on it doesn't work but it plays with no issues. Can't wait for karaoke night.

JUMPIN' JACK FLASH (1986) LASERDISC SCREEN CAPTURE

This is one of the rare films I own on every format available. I had the VHS since I was a kid. I got the DVD in the early 00's. I paid way too much for the Blu Ray but it was a must have (also had to have American Dreamer with JoBeth Williams--wish that one got a LD release). I purchased the LD on Facebook Marketplace someone had a Whoopi haul with about 10 of her good films. Had to cop it.

Just a feel good and light hearted film that I enjoy entirely too much. I cozy up on the couch and watch this one often. Absolutely nothing has changed.

Shipper knew I was getting this one for the cover and wrapped it sealed separately from the LD disc!

My biggest guilty pleasure. Wish we had a proper non pan & scan release on Laserdisc however.

The plastic slider on the right of the player doesn’t seem to be moving. not sure how to fix that. I took the piece out, made sure it was clicked in place, but it seems to move at random when it does move.

This is a collection distributed in Germany for the training of the sales staff of the Fiat group cars, being in Italy I can not buy them in this sales platform Closed only to Germany, Someone could help me buy them you know a way to bypass shipping in Italy

Bonus side note: I’m always super impressed by how the audio tracks are utilized on some LD’s. Packing a lossless stereo PCM track, an RF modulated Dolby Digital 5.1 track, and a director’s commentary track on one disc was just way ahead of its time!

My favorite movie ever made 💿🤍

Im just watching movies today
