I would like to add another question: how about sound recording? Is there any LVR wich enables sound recording separatly from image recording so that one could build the sound track after the images were recorded? I only have the LVR 5000/6000 specs and I couldn't find an answer. I can only guess that if you use only one laser beam it will record sound and image at the same time, so the answer to my question would be no. But is there any one who is sure about this subject?

In the previous article Pedro Lopes asks if there are any Videodisc Recorders that have the ability for audio dubbing. In the Pioneer Rewritable Laserdisc specs they have 2ch PCM audio with dubbing capability. I noticed that this player was not mentioned in the list of videodisc recorders. As far as I know the pioneer is the only player with two heads to allow bith erase and record on a single pass. The player uses a MO disc with a 1/3 full stroke access time of 0.2 Seconds and uses SMPTE time codes. A single player is all that is required, not a record unit and a seperate playback unit.
