In the previous article Pedro Lopes asks if there are any Videodisc Recorders
that have the ability for audio dubbing.  In the Pioneer Rewritable Laserdisc
specs they have 2ch PCM audio with dubbing capability.  I noticed that this
player was not mentioned in the list of videodisc recorders.

As far as I know the pioneer is the only player with two heads to allow bith
erase and record on a single pass.  The player uses a MO disc with a 1/3 full
stroke access time of 0.2 Seconds and uses SMPTE time codes.  A single player
is all that is required, not a record unit and a seperate playback unit.
