I have and the ced format for a long time , I have a
bad player so I Started to video tape all my CEDs disk
found that the video in most cases is beter then the
video tapes you buy to day.

wish the format was still around, to bad i cant get my
good player fixed, tryed to buy a player on EBAY but
when it came, thay packed it in newspaper and the
table spins bad the pic gets bad has it gets to the
end of the disk.

So Im using the other bad player I have to video tape
the CEDs I have, that player has load problem and when
the disk starts you have to turn off the machine , or
it run to the stop in the middle of the player.

its to bad it was a good format , it ran will for its
life will try to get one more player on ebay , if that
doesnt work I am done.

I recently acquired a perfectly working  SJT-400 player from CED Central.  Of
course, like all machines closing in on 20 years of age, it has started to
display an odd quirk.  No matter which side of a disc that is inserted into the
player, it starts 20-25 seconds into the recorded material.  It often takes an
abnormally long time (Several seconds) for the player to actually start playing
the disc too.  Before I crack the player open and make things worse, does
anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Forrest.

Season's Greeting All:

If you can't make out the ASCII holiday image below, try viewing it in the
Courier font, and if you happen to have the "Mickey's Christmas Carol" CED,
this ASCII rendition is derived from an image on the disc 25:44 into the
program material.

In about a week, you'll also be able to view the image at CED Magic at the
following URL when I get the Volume 7 Digest archives on-line:
