A disc full of advertisements and demos for Pioneer home theater products. Probably intended to loop in a store display, each chapter ends with a few moments on a screen with "You Are Watching A Laser Disc".

However, it does have a very nice transfer of "Breaking The Ice", a CGI short. This is also found on "The Mind's Eye" [ID8530MM] (chapter 6), but this demo disc uses the original score.

 Additional Information by publius (14)   19/04/2005 

My copy has on side B a horizontal band of noise about one third of the picture height, starting one-quarter of the way from the top of the screen and continuing from beginning to end of the side. This seems more likely to be a mastering defect than a pressing error or rot.
