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. I loaded a laserdisc and tapped the platter and it slid closed. None of the buttons seem to work including the Power button. It would not come out of standby.

I unplugged it and let it sit a few minutes while I tried to locate a user manual online, which I did, but at last nothing in the user manaul gave me a hint of what to do. I then plugged it back in and now the display panel displayed the "LD" lit, but it would not play. Then after a couple of minutes it went back to standby. I do not have it hooked up to my TV yet. I wanted to be sure it functioned properly first. Does it make a difference if it is hooked up to the TV? I wouldn't think so.

I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or if there is a real problem with the unit and I should just send it back.

Thank you,
 
Sounds like you need to take this up with the seller. You may have some recourse through eBay or Paypal. Might have happened in shipping so I hope it was packed well and insured. Good luck.
