Karaoke sets off a song and dance

Article Abstract:

Laser discs (LD), which are CDs with video, are the latest innovation in sound electronics. LDs have superior standards of sound and picture compared to tape. The Japanese are attempting to break into the European market with laser discs which are a suitable accompaniment to karaoke. As European television and video technology is different from that of Japan and the United States, the systems are as yet incompatible. Film distributors are reluctant to invest in Britain as similar laser technology has failed to take off before.

They have developed an approach to distribution which is obviously successful, and should be regarded as having a positive impact on the film-going environment as a whole.
