Compatible Laserdisc Players - Pioneer PR-8210, Pioneer PR-8210-A*, Pioneer LD-1100*, Pioneer LD-V1001 (only with Taito hardware)

* The Pioneer PR-8210-A and LD-1100 are only compatible with the PR-8210 in terms of their infrared LED interface.  These two players could alternately be used with M.A.C.H. 3 if the IR-LED installation methods described in the LD Conversion for Cliff Hanger document were properly adapted to M.A.C.H. 3's external control cable.  For more information on how the PR-8210 communicates with the game, check out the PR-8210 / PR-8210-A page.

Laserdisc Pressing - M.A.C.H. 3 has three different disc pressings.  There is a Scotch-labeled single-sided disc (plastic backing), a Pioneer-labeled single-sided disc (metal backing), and a Pioneer-labeled double-sided disc.  The Pioneer discs were used in the Taito version of M.A.C.H. 3 released in Japan, which uses a Pioneer LD-V1001 laserdisc player.

Aftermarket Conversion Cards - Various Laserdisc Player Conversion Products have been developed over the years to allow replacement/upgrade of the laserdisc player.

RCA Cables - When hooking up the disc player in a M.A.C.H. 3, be sure that the left & right RCA audio cables are connected to the correct ports on the player.  One channel plays audio, and the other carries a sync signal.  If the cables are swapped, the game will not work.

Interchangeability - Us vs. Them can be played in a M.A.C.H. 3 cabinet with the correct boardset, EPROMs, and laserdisc.
