Hi All,

First, a most blessed, healthy and happy new year to one and all!

I have a fully rebuilt H.H. Scott LK-72B stereo amplifier. It is from circa 
1962-1964. It seems to have a lot of military style engineering in its 
design. The components are far more rugged then typically used in such 
equipment. Even the RMS output is rated about 35% low.

Is this because H.H. Scott had a number of former military design engineers 
employed or?

Their gear certainly is well thought out and built solid!

Hi All,

Sorry to be off the topic here, but the old blind dude needs some sighted 
wisdom!

I just got the complete set of the original Star Trek series on DVD. None of 
them will play on my DVD for TV gear. I have a high end Pioneer DVL-919 and 
a Sony unit.

None of my DVD equipment is for Blue Ray, which I think is HD.

The DVD unit rejects the DVD as if it could not find the index track or the 
disk was empty.

I am wondering if this DVD set may be Blue Ray, as I have seen them 
advertised for the Star Trek original series. If they are Blue Ray will they 
work with my non-Blue Ray gear?

Thanks!
Duane, W8DBF

Hello Duane,

Blue Ray uses either a 4 layer, or a 8 layer disk.

Your regular DVD uses a single layer, or a dual layer disk,

A regular DVD player will not play a Blue Ray disk.

And to add Duane:
A Blue Ray player will also play regular DVD disks.

Thank you Bruce. That is what I feared.
