Looking Ahead
Videodiscs rising
by David Lachenbruch

Prices of Magnavision videodisc players and MCA DiscoVision discs have been increased, long before nationwide marketing has been reached. Magnavox boosted the price of players to $775 from $695 and MCA hiked the price of some movie discs from $9.95 to $15.95, others from $15.95 to $24.95. RCA, which plans to introduce its own videodisc system in about a year commented through a spokesman: "We still think a $400 player and a $10 to $17 disc are reasonable goals."
