 Additional Information by lunarjetman (13)   17/08/2006 

This disc describes itself as "Sales Training for LaserVision" and would most probably have been given to stores to show to eager sales assistants. The disc, which has a copyright date of 1982 on the sleeve, is narrated by a presenter who shows what appears to be an early Pioneer top loading player, he explains how Laservision discs work, how the players work and describes the different possibilities that Laservision discs bring; for example, Movies, Education, and much more. Comparisons are made between VHS and CED and specifically, how much better the picture quality is (quite ironic really, as my copy of this training disc is heavily rotted!).

Chapters are:

  • Introduction
  • The laser & The disc
  • Loading the disc
  • Still & Step
  • Slow Motion
  • Frame & Chapter search
  • Audio demonstration
  • Audio 1 & 2
  • Vacation sequence
  • Forward & reverse
  • Pause
  • Use with a home computer
  • Benefits & comparisons
  • Selling Laservision
  • Questions & answers
  • Review
  • Credits

There are no mint markings on the disc and no reference numbers on the sleeve. The dead side is painted white. It is published by NAP (North American Philips).

The player used in the demonstration is an unbranded Magnavox VC-8010. The program is stereo, but some segments are dual channel.

After having found an "unlabeled" copy, pressing by 3M is confirmed. This would make one of 3Ms earliest titles.
