These shiny records don't seem to work on my turntable for some reason...am I doing something wrong?

Looks more like a laserdisc than a record.

The lighting is horrible and it looks like the camera's flash was used wrong which over-exposed parts of the picture. I think the colour balance is off too, your camera skills suck.

What's wrong with this picture? The fact that you didn't include a pretentious magazine like "Stereophile" in the background to go along with the turntable :P

It doesn't look anything like a laserdisc.

Looks like an LP...made out of denim.

Okay, NOW I see what it is.

And that's exactly why there isn't a single copy of Stereophile or The Absolute Sound in our apartment. When the magazine reviewers consistently manage to write better ad copy than the manufacturers advertising in the magazine, something is well and truly fucked.

BTW, what do you think of that big AutoCAD manual in the background?

How do you play a CD with a turntable?
That is what is wrong. :D
Now for your picture:
You were too close to the subject when you activated the flash and that balance of colors is off....

I seem to recall some law of documentation, to the effect that: 9 times out of 10, you don't have any documentation. If you do have documentation, 9 times out of ten it's for the wrong version of the product. If it's for the right version of the product, 9 times out of ten, it's missing the section you need. If you have the complete version of the docs, for your product, they're in Japanese, if not Sanskrit.

Is the problem that you've got the turntable set at the wrong speed? :)

It's funny, my dad got the manual when he was using Release 11, figuring his company would upgrade to R12 in the near future. Instead, the company decided to skip R12 altogether and go right to R13. After my dad retired I got his AutoCAD discs and manual.

That's a distinct possibility, would you happen to know the correct RPM setting for these shiny discs? :P

Nope, I just had a spontaneous "I want to do something silly" moment, and decided to post the results on a couple forums to see how many people get it.

No try 40000 RPM at the edge and 16000 RPM at the center. :D

I watch Mythbusters, I've seen what happens when you spin a CD much past 20,000 RPM.

Case in point: The old Plextor 70x CD-ROM drives. Sure, they read faster than light, but if you put a CD in that wasn't totally structurally sound internally, it would explode and literally shoot chunks of shattered CD across the room out of the drive. Or it'd toss the pieces the other way, even up into the inside of the computer itself. Hilarious, if a bit tough on discs. :)
