Retail sales discs are any discs that RCA sent to dealerships, such as demonstration discs, service discs, employee discs, etc.
Some discs sent only to dealers would include promotional discs with samples of movies and misc. Discs that could be played in the store kiosk to demonstrate the format.

The next title I would like to introduce is called RCA Videodisc Aloha Conference – Catch the Wave to the Kona Coast ’84. It was sent to RCA dealers and was a contest to sell the most players and discs. The top dealers would win a trip to Hawaii. After the trip, each dealer was sent a disc that was recorded at the conference. There was two separate conferences and so there is a blue disc and a white disc.

After returning from the conference, those who attended received a copy of the conference they were at.
