How does the CLD-59 rate as a laser disc source?

Thanks for the input, I'm new to the LD game so it's hard figuring out what's what. I went ahead and bought the 59

I look at it as a stepping stone to a major league player. For now I just want to sample the s-video and digital sound at a reasonable price point.

My collection is up to around 300 so it's time to get away from the yard sale unit I picked up for $20.00 (analog) and into something with digital outputs:^)

Question, what kind of cable do you use for the AC-3 output? Is it just a standard digital cable?

Does the "D" stand for digital outputs at the end of the abbreviation 704-D?

Is the elite just a better looking version? It seems like they sell much higher at e-bay than there ugly twin sister?

Thanks JD,

Say do you guy's ever experience what seems like a vinyl skip? Where the disc keeps repeating in one spot.

I had that happen last night with one of the Beatles anthology discs. I nudged past it and everything was fine.

I found that some of the sound quality on the beatles anthology discs was unbearable, but for the most part it was pretty good.
