Re: [ARSCLIST] Multi format DVD/CD/SACD, etc Player
I apologise if this has been addressed in a previous post, but there was
once manufactured, around 8 or 9 years ago, a laserdisc / dvd
compatable player.
I installed 2 of them installed in auditoria used for film study.

As I have understood the question throughout this thread (and all its
knots), it was whether a unit with the identified broad capabilities
was
available. My answer was "yes" (except for SACD, about which I have no
knowledge) with a specific example.
Standalone players with MP3 capability offer just that, providing
through their software capabilities akin to those of a portable player
or far more or somewhat less. Similarly, many will show still images in
JPEG and sometimes other formats, usually with substantial slide-show
capability, again supplied in software within the unit. They may also
show video from AVI with or without DivX codec and in at least one case
from MPG.
Other capabilities are at the whim of the manufacturer.
