the dvd player im getting from a friend is a Samsung DV-5000N (1991), anybody know anything about these, www.laserdiscarchive.co.uk doesnt have any info on it although im told it doesnt seem to have a digital audio out.
I'm assuming you meant "LD player" here. It doesn't look like any Samsungs had digital audio out, but if you're getting it just for the Definitive Collection LDs, it doesn't matter. They use 2-channel PCM, and you can just use the stereo RCA (red/white) plugs.
also, im scoping out definitive edition laser disc sets on ebay and one of the sellers replied to me that there was no indication that there set was either PAL or NTSC, although they did say it was CAV, does anybody know where on the set it specifies NTSC versus PAL

As far as I know, the Definitive Collection set was a US-only item, which would make it NTSC. If the seller is from the US, it's definitely NTSC.
