1982 Magnavox laserdisc demo
Titled "The World on a Silver Platter" this was made primarily for sales training for the 2nd generation of Magnavox laserdisc players, after they had stopped with the silly Magnavision design. Once again they show it playing through huge speakers with a tiny screen in between. I don't know how well this helped sales, but it's got clips from a few unique discs made just for the format like The First National Kidisc which was one of the first laserdiscs I saw back in the day. This was played on a Pioneer LD-660 which overrides all the picture stops and ignores the end of disc code enabling you to see the color bars at the very end. (Disc was made by 3M and has white plastic on the 2nd side.)
