LaserDisc Audio Guide – Part 1: An LD Audio Overview

Culturedog Sam Hatch has returned with a small series of videos hashing out the convoluted history of the audio portion of LaserDisc history. Analog, digital, mono, stereo, surround, Pro Logic, AC-3, Dolby Digital, DTS… all those confusing acronyms and output jacks… all will be broken down and explained.

In this first video, Sam will somewhat briefly explain the evolution of LD audio and what you might need to actually listen to it. Future episodes will delve into the specific sound formats and further illustrate how to hook up your gear properly.

Strap in and crank it up!
