It's mono, IIRC. There is likely no difference between the analog and digital tracks.

Yeah, of course it's a mono track, don't know what I was thinking. ;) It is also a damn good mono track, far ahead of its time.

A dirty little secret of some later model LD players is the analog output was lowered a bit to make the digital sound better/louder. My old player (which does much better at ignoring rot and speckles) is analog only, but sounds great with a CX encoded track. Most of the titles I've captured off of it don't have digital tracks anyway. Hope this isn't a problem?

Interesting story, what a cheap way to make the digital seem better/louder. Well, sometimes the old equipment is better. Analog audio only won't be a problem to me at all, I think you know what you're doing. It was just me who was a little curious about a possible difference between the tracks. I've not that much knowledge when it comes to LD.
