Offered for sale is an extremely rare Japanese VHD import copy of Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge. This disc has been inspected, removed from the caddy, gently cleaned, and previewed for several minutes throughout each chapter using a Victor HD-9300 player with new stylus. Please be sure to view my other auctions for more VHD titles. A VHD videodisc player is required to view this movie. The disc will NOT work with DVD, Laserdisc, CED, or VHS players. READ Successful playback has been confirmed but it’s important to note that on side 1, during chapter 6, there are a few skips due to small blemishes on the disc surface. This occurs between scenes where Jesse wakes up to items melting in his room and when the family gets spooked by a bird lol… With all vintage videodiscs, there is the potential for static and/or skips depending on the condition of the player these are being used with. Static is primarily caused by dust particles and can be remedied simply be repeat playback. Skips are typically caused by a physical defect on the disc surface or a worn stylus. I have almost 20 years of experience with the format (collecting, cleaning, and even repairs) so please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. A VHD videodisc player is required to view these movies. The discs will NOT work with DVD, Laserdisc, CED, or VHS players. The VHD (Video High Density) videodisc format was an analog video disc system developed by JVC and introduced in Japan in 1983. Unlike the optical LaserDisc, VHD used a physical stylus for reading the disc, which did not have grooves but was instead tracked electronically. The format was capable of storing up to 60 minutes of NTSC video per side. Despite its innovative approach, including a unique interactive capability for video games and training systems, VHD faced stiff competition from other video formats like VHS and Betamax. Its market reach remained limited, primarily finding a niche in karaoke systems and as an educational tool. The production of VHD discs continued into the early 1990s, but the format did not achieve widespread adoption and saw its last new release in 1990.
