Hi, Not to sound rude, but that would be like getting into 8-tracks, except I think they would be easier to find. Any reason to hook it up other then a new project, or do you not like DVD?

If I could get hold of one, I'd hook it up, just to play with it some. Never did own one, so they're new to me.

I saw a stack of discs for one, at Goodwill's Outlet Store. They sold them for a dollar apiece. I didn't buy any, since I didn't have a player. Check Goodwill and Salvation Army and Mission Stores, for discs. If you find some cheap, check them out. Won't hurt to look, if you have inputs not being used......

Do some google searching is the only advice I can give. I think there are who still trade in those discs and perhaps some may still be pressed?

I have a laser disc player I don't use hooked up to my system, and have 30 to 40 laser discs. The player only has a composite video output. The video quality is about the same as a good VHS tape, so why bother.

I have the Yamaha HTR 5890 receiver, do I need a special input other than the regular S-Video and RCA jacks (or optical) to hook up a laserdisc, and if I don't, anybody willing to sell the laserdisc player???
