Better discs...possible, but unlikely. Lube is a good theory, but in this case I don't think it's the reason since I lubricate all my older CD-ROM stuff on occasion.

We all know the most superior hardware version is the Laseractive...

F**k Laserdisc

I want to lubricate my NEC CD systems.  Any tips on how?

Something to keep in mind is that every unit of each model is not going to behave or last exactly the same. If you've only ever played the same Duo and the same Duo R/RX, your experience isn't necessarily going to reflect most units.

Hey my Laseractive plays any CDR of anything I throw at it no matter how crappy the cdr. If your goal is to play cdr then Laseractive is your machine.

That makes sense, since a LA's laser is meant to read a much larger range of media.

If they weren't huge ass machines it would be the perfect match for me!

For an LD player they are actually not that big. :) My LD-W1 completely steamrollers the LA.

Maybe one day I'll get one.   I remember them from school.

Well interesting twist. I will be sending my DUO off the TheSteve. Still having issues with it since July it seems when I purchased it.

Hopefully he can get it back to better than ever, and resolve whatever is going on with mine.

After doing a lot of Duo repairs lately. My own personal experience and preferences are....



They both can be region modded at about the same speed. <- Special note for the US-Tech video. He has his own special region mods that he makes. He made one that goes right on the pins. The metal shields in the Duo-r's pose some rethinking like how he showed in the vid on how to do it. Using the Obey region mod the protective metal shield is a non-issue as you are connecting wires to the cut pins instead.



Awesome info. I realized he makes his own pcb, but I really never put 2 and 2 together. This thread has been fantastic.

The metal shield also makes a convenient spot to mount the obey chip as well.

Quiz Econosaurus is awesome. I don't own my laseractive anymore but I remember getting many 4 player games going with that one in the past.
