One of the tell-tale signs you're a 'home cinema hero' is that you 'still have a LaserDisc player, somewhere...' And, indeed, to AV geeks of a certain vintage, the mere word conjures up cherished memories of that unmistakable whooshing sound as the big and beautiful medium – think CD, enlarged to LP size – was brought up to speed within the sizeable slab of a player.

LaserDisc owners knew they were in for a movie-watching treat, with CD-quality stereo sound accompanied by visuals that rivalled broadcast quality. In the era of standard-def analogue telly and 4:3 CRT TVs, you couldn't get better at home.

LaserDisc devotees also took for granted features that the VHS-buying masses would only be in a position to appreciate come the DVD revolution – such as chaptered access to sections, frame-by-frame analysis, freedom from wear, 5.1 surround sound and bonus material like director's commentaries and featurettes. It was simply light years ahead of its time.

One of the tell-tale signs you're a 'home cinema hero' is that you 'still have a LaserDisc player, somewhere...'

On January 14, 2009, LaserDisc officially died. Of course, the shiny, 12-inch optical disc that once competed with VHS and Betamax in the home video market spun into oblivion long before. However, it was that Wednesday in January seven years ago that Pioneer – the last remaining company to make the devices – declared they were ceasing production after making a final run of 3,000 LaserDisc players, bringing the total made to just under 17 million units.

“Under the market environment in which new media such as DVD and Blu-ray Discs now dominate, it has become difficult for Pioneer to procure the parts required to produce LD players,” read Pioneer’s press release. “Consequently Pioneer has been forced to terminate production of its LD products.”
