Subject: 16th Anniversary of CED Introduction
Greetings All:
It was 16 years ago on Sunday, March 22, 1981 that RCA introduced the CED system
at 5000 dealerships nationwide. Its interesting that this coming Monday is a
major intro date for DVD, when Warner introduces the first large batch of DVD
titles. DVD will be advertised at the Academy Awards on Monday. Does anyone know
if RCA promoted CED during the 1981 Academy Awards (broadcast March 31, 1981)?
There will be an RCA-brand DVD player which can be seen at this URL:
http://www.rca-electronics.com/innovations/dvd.asp
That website also has "The RCA Story", a history of the company and brand name
from the late 19th century to present. They breeze through the 1980's without
one mention of CED.

Subject: technical problem
My SFT100 W seems to be giving me a little problem that I cant quite
figure out. The picture lately has had some static in it, and quite a few
skips. So I figure my stylus is worn down. I order a brand new one, and
though the picture doesnt seem to skip much, there is still quite a bit of
static on the screen. Is there anything else I should check out? I have a
ton of things hooked up to the tv, and I am going to try hooking it up
"clean" to another TV without any other stuff plugged through it, to see if
