Problem with LD or LD Player?

Archived from groups: alt.video.laserdisc (More info?)

If you are getting crackling of sound but the video is good then the signal
from the laser is getting weak. The digital audio will degrade before the
picture. Other chances are something in the digital audio circuit going
bad.
