Nov 18, 2008 - It's not a remote control, it's an infrared hand unit!

Nov 18, 2008 - These machines are truly amazing. The technology and process is very sophisticated and remarkable. Right after I discovered this format I immediately decided to purchase one, as I am a collector of media formats (primarily vintage). Which many people find odd considering my young age.

Nov 18, 2008 - I did my research and decided to get one of the best players made (need stereo!), I decided on the SGT-250 over the 400 series due to they are notorious for being the most solid built, shipping service can be rough... I was not disappointed! It came in original box no less, and the unit looked immaculate. I opened the stylus access door and the inside looked untouched, no dust, just like the laboratories they came out of the players mimicked the conditions to shield its inner mechanisms.

Nov 18, 2008 - The inside even smelled like fresh solder! And yes if you service machines that need soldering, you know that smell, the smell of circuit vitality. This machine was indeed built to last; it worked without a problem upon engaging my first disc. As well CED's do present good enjoyable picture and sound.

Nov 18, 2008 - I'm truly impressed at the workmanship; they don't make electronics like this anymore (even better than stuff from its time), beyond industrial even! I commend all who made this technology possible; it was no failure. In my opinion the most solid built electronic machine made... these players are boss!!

Nov 18, 2008 - this format never took off. Pioneer's LaserDisc format was so much better than this.
