Pioneer PX-V60





































The Pioneer PX-V60 is an MSX1-compatible home computer released in Japan in 1986. It was part of Pioneer’s effort to combine home computing with their expertise in audiovisual technology, particularly for use alongside LaserDisc systems.

The PX-V60 featured a unique design that included a built-in LaserDisc control interface, allowing it to synchronize with compatible Pioneer LaserDisc players. This made it suitable for multimedia applications, especially in educational and training environments. Despite being a fully functional MSX computer, its primary purpose was often to act as a controller in LaserDisc-based interactive systems.

In terms of hardware, the PX-V60 adhered to the MSX1 standard, which ensured compatibility with MSX software and peripherals. It included both RF and composite video outputs and supported external data recorders and joysticks. Its distinctive front panel and branding made it stand out among other MSX systems of the time.
