Laser Disc Players

Hi all, After reading pretty much this entire forum, I see I should have thought through how I was going to deal with my LDs a bit more. But here I am today with a decent HDTV by RCA, an Onkyo TX727 and a Pioneer CLD-626. I am trying to decide on what the best solution is that isn't too...

How can I open the LD tray without power?

Hello, Just got a samsung smart 3d blue ray player. I have read that 3d can max output in 580p - but sends out in 2 x 580p to give a max of 1080p but shows as 580 only. To overcome this if you have a hdmi cable of 2160p will this mean that you can show 3d in full 1080p. Long question maybe...

How can I copy or convert LaserDisc to PC and/or DVD

I just purchased a Pioneer CLD-V2600 LaserDisc Player on eBay. The seller stated that it "works". I plugged it in and the platter opened up immediately. Next I noticed that the display was only partially lit, then after a couple of minutes, the display went black and the standby light lit up...

THE PLAYER CAN'T DETECTED THE DISC

I'm in Moscow (ID). A friend has asked if I might help her sell a player w/ about 80 discs that she 'inherited' after her dad died recently. I barely recall the things, let alone know much about them. Is there a collector's club or any particular shop that handles these? I'd really rather not...

Hello, Yes, I am the "happy" owner of a Pioneer LD-S9. "Happy" only because it started to show signs of old age: It does not play the end of side two (actually the end of the side after the laser pickup has changed sides) of almost all my LDs (sometimes gives me an "E3" error code) and more...

I just got a free used laserdisc player and it powers just fine and loads disks. I press play and i hear the reader move, but it won't play. I took the top of the case off and i noticed the disk doesn't even move! What's wrong? I really want it to work! :o

Got a MCA Discovision PR7820 from 1979 off of Ebay. The machine powers up and lights up. I've confirmed Coaxial connection to two TVs....yet both TVs do not detect an outgoing video signal. The discs are detected and do spin Checked the VDP selector and it indicates that it is set to VDP...

So, I (somewhat foolishly?) on a whim bought a broken CLD-D515 Laserdisc player off eBay, just because I think Laserdiscs seem pretty cool. Reading the description, it sounded to me like it was an internal fuse/power supply capacitor problem (symptom being no activity whatsoever when you try to...

I have a Sony BDVE780W home theatre system and a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. The home cinema system works perfectly for everything, including when I connect my PS3 to HDMI input. But when I use the same cable and input to connect to my laptop I dont get any video or audio. Also when I connect my...

I just bought a Pioneer CLD-D501 as a backup player in my garage. Although the seller claimed he'd had it working recently, the drawer mechanism is jammed. The problem appears to be with the lateral carriage that lifts the center spindle out of the way of the disc drawer. This carriage has two...

I have a cld-d505 which "someone" plugged into the wrong socket and it blew the fuse. I've replaced the fuse and it still blows. After some research it seems that the transient voltage suppressor diode must be replaced as well and then it will operate again as long as nothing else is blown on...
