I used to own a home acoustic center manufactured by Sanyo. The item had dual loader designed both for Laserdiscs and CDs.

mmmmm... SCART. Pure resolution. I had a RGB monitor for my SNES many moons ago...

Laserdiscs:
Yes they were quite the top of the line at the time. More so they Karaoke option and the automatic flipping function (so you didn't have to eject the LD and flip it over manually.

Did you know you can still buy a new Pioneer Laserdisc model in Japanese retail electronics stores? Yodabashi Camera and BIC still sell them! Of course they can play DVDs too. However I think they are not making them anymore as I don't see them online anymore but still in most locations as left over inventory.

As LD Karaoke classics are reprinted on DVD, many people shuffle to this as well as real Karaoke machines with non-DVD media or hard disk media are the professional units.
