Laserdisc Players

Enjoy Classic Movies, Music, and More With a LaserDisc Player for Sale

Before DVD and Blu-Ray players took over the physical media format, LaserDiscs were a common viewing option for high-quality movies; to play the large discs, you would need a LaserDisc player which could read the discs and handle the large size. Learn about these advanced players, some unique features, and ways to get the most out of your new and used LaserDisc player shopping.

Selecting used LaserDisc players versus new ones

LaserDisc players are no longer being manufactured, meaning that you cannot buy them for retail at a store. This means that as you try to compare prices and learn how much a LaserDisc player is worth, you will get a variety of prices. In most cases, you will not save money when choosing new LaserDisc players over used ones on eBay. The players themselves are harder to come by, especially when older models no longer work or owners just get rid of them because they do not use them anymore. When you shop, you may be able to find an affordable LaserDisc player new rather than pay the same price for a used one. Shop around eBay listings to compare the prices and see various conditions.

Some unique features found on LaserDisc players

Not every LaserDisc player is the same. As you shop, there are many different features to look for on the various players. For example, there are some advanced Pioneer LaserDisc player products which have the ability to not only play LaserDiscs but can accept both standard CDs and DVDs as well. With the single device, you can play a wide variety of media options. Some of the LD devices also had the ability to play both sides of a disc at once. For example, the Pioneer CLD-D505 LaserDisc player has the ability to automatically switch to the other side of the disc without the need to take the disc out and flip it over manually. Consider these options when you are shopping for various players.

Are there features to look for when choosing a LaserDisc player?

As you select a LaserDisc player for purchase, there are multiple things to look for. When the player has all the cords, you will have the ability to connect it directly to the TV without extra purchases. A majority of LD players include a remote for disc operation without manually touching the device. Some also include the full original manual to learn everything about the LD player. In some cases, you may find listings bundled with LaserDisc movies. The movies are an ideal way to start a collection and have something to try out on the device.
