My brother bought a Realistic CED-1 CED videodisk back in 1982. Before that he owned a Sears CED player which was brand new, but returned it because it skipped so bad. The Realistic played the disk with hardly any skipping at all. I even bought an extra needle for the player. I do remember the colors being washed out and the soundtrack in mono not being too clear. I sold it on eBay close to 10 years ago with some movies for over $100.

Maybe to improve the picture quality, get one of those video correction black boxes that they used to sell at Radio Shack to try to improve picture quality. But in my opinion, the format had pretty poor picture quality compared to other video formats.
