|{{~}}<ref group="lower-alpha" name="LD capture">Pioneer LaserActive supports [[Home media players|Audio CD]], [[Home media players|Video CD]], [[Home media players|CD-G]], [[wikipedia:LV-ROM#LD-ROM|LD-ROM²]], [[Wikipedia:LaserDisc#LD-G|LD-G]] and [[Home media players|Laser Videodisc]]. Advanced features like frame-by-frame playback or enhanced karaoke modes (e.g., for CD+G, a related but distinct format) may require inserting a Sega PAC (S-10) or NEC PAC (N-10) for improved functionality during VCD viewing. Without the Sega PAC, the LaserActive can still play the audio portion of a CD+G disc as a standard audio CD, but it won't display the graphical content. The NEC PAC (N-10) doesn't add CD+G support in the same way, as its focus is on TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine compatibility. Unlike most optical-disc standards, LaserDisc is not fully digital, and instead requires the use of analog video signals.<br />Use [[Ripping games#Analog|this section]] for more infomation about LD capture.
