WHAT DOES LASERDISC PLAYER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Laserdisc player

A Laserdisc player is an electro-mechanical device designed to play video and audio stored on Laserdisc. Laserdisc was the first optical disc format marketed to consumers; it was introduced by MCA DiscoVision in 1978. From 1978 until 1984, all Laserdisc player models read discs by using a helium–neon laser tube. In 1984, Pioneer Corporation introduced the first consumer player with a solid-state laser diode. This model, the Pioneer LD-700, was also the first Laserdisc player with a front-loading disc bay instead of a top-loading one. Pioneer became the market leader in Laserdisc technology. In the 1990s, Pioneer and others produced a small number of a high-definition video player models, which employed multiple sub-Nyquist sampling encoding technology. In 1996, Pioneer distributed their first DVD player in Japan: A combination Laserdisc/DVD player, model DVL-9. Pioneer announced the end of Laserdisc player production in January 2009. The last models Pioneer produced were the DVL-919, CLD-R5, DVK-900, and DVL-K88.
