Has anyone used an LD player controller, such as the Voyager unit, to control a home LD player, such as the Pioneer CLV-1030? I'm considering upgrading my home player and want to experiment with visuals for storytelling (RPGs). Do some home units seek significantly more quickly than others? ron();

If you are getting a new one, the 1070, 2070, and 3070 do seek faster and the 3070 changes sides quicker than the older models. >Do some home units seek significantly more quickly than others? > They do seek at different speeds, but I don't know if the different brands are significantly different. I do know that the newer 3070 seeks quite a bit faster than the 3030, which was the equivalent machine of Pioneers earlier models. These are the only two I have seen side by side, but I have no figures on the speeds. Hope this helps! Rick Fincher rnf@shumv1.ncsu.edu
