Ha ha, yes it is indeed a rare breed of laserdisc player; white. Only slightly less rare than a white iPhone.
It's a
Pioneer CLD V2120D. I can't seem to track down much information about it, what little I can seems to be in German so I guess it was mainly marketed in the European regions. It plays both PAL and NTSC, has a separate draw for CDs, skip/freezeframe for CAV, no AC3 or auto flip though.
From what I've read it seems to be from the "Professional line" but I've never heard of any other players from this line so I've no idea if that means anything good really.
All in all it's a fairly basic player, but I don't mind as I got it for 1p from ebay. Perhaps some day I'll upgrade and get one with AC3 but I currently don't have the room for surroundsound so the lack of it on this player doesn't bother me. The cost of players is what held me back from getting into laserdiscs in the first place, I think I ended up with a bargain.
Oh...and the word Avatar has many meanings, I think it originally stems from Hindu, but in the broadest term it means personification or embodiment. But on the internet it usually just means a user picture or a James Cameron film (now that would be one hell of a laserdisc!).
And now we know...and knowing is half the battle
