Kenwood LVD-290

Thanks to Hartmut Hackl for the details and picture.

Kenwood introduced this player in the 1997 European catalogue to provide a source for their new AC-3 Receivers. Though intended for Europe, it didn't play PAL software. Also, there were no digital or S-Video outputs.
It typically retailed for approx £400.
