The laser compact disc player "Ray-002" was created in VNIIRPA named after A.S. Popov in 1981. PKD "Luch-002" is an improved model of the experimental PKD "Luch-001". The first domestic optical CD player prepared for serial production of Luch-002 was demonstrated at VDNH in 1982. Thousands of visitors and millions of viewers saw the first PCD and optical disc, where a melody from the movie "My Tender and Tender Beast" was recorded. PKD "Luch-002" aroused great interest in enterprises manufacturing radio equipment. But at that time there were still no corresponding accessories and production technologies for both the components themselves and the laser discs, and the novelty was frozen for several more years.
