Some scuttlebutt from the Pioneer Suite at the June CES has it that
some extra "tracks" are now being recorded on Laserdiscs in anticipation
of the forthcoming combination CD-LV player that has been mentioned by
Pioneer execs.  Does anyone have further information of any sort about
this??

Some interesting tidbits: 1. Recent discs (such as 2001) have not used
CX encoding, even tho such processing is free. 2. The surfaces of some
new LV's LOOK different.  3. The 4.2 mHz multiburst response is down a
bit from what it used to be; has a guard band been added?  4.  There is
ample precedent for such a development.  For example, Close Encounters
and Black Stallion are CX encoded even tho no mention was made at the
time, and the VP-1000 has provisions to play 8 inch LV's which have yet
to hit the market.
