I've discovered that CDs work flawlessly. This unit used to work fairly well, but I hadn't used it in a couple years. Any idea what could be causing this? Any help at all would be much appreciated, thanks. | | | | audioboyz1973 | Post subject: Re: CLD-D503 Problem - CDs work, but LDs don't Posted: 24 Oct 2015, 01:36 | Advanced fan | | | Joined: 16 Jun 2015, 15:40 Posts: 824 Location: Australia Has thanked: 105 times Been thanked: 94 times | Probably the loading belt.

I don't know who has it to replace. you can try opening it and cleaning the black rubber pad that has dried up. Good Luck. ________________________________ the rein-o official signature: | | | | Guest | Post subject: Re: CLD-D503 Problem - CDs work, but LDs don't Posted: 24 Oct 2015, 02:21 | | rein-o wrote: its the rubber pad on the clamping spindle.

Would you happen to have a picture of what I would be looking to clean, or perhaps be able to describe it in detail? Also, what would you suggest cleaning it with? (Sorry for the hassle, I have very little experience working with Laserdisc players) | | | | rein-o | Post subject: Re: CLD-D503 Problem - CDs work, but LDs don't Posted: 24 Oct 2015, 02:30 | Jedi Master | | | Joined: 03 May 2004, 19:05 Posts: 7654 Location: Dullaware Has thanked: 993 times Been thanked: 673 times | do a search on lddb, there is a post somewhere.

I'll give it a go tomorrow and check back in with the results. | | | | Guest | Post subject: Re: CLD-D503 Problem - CDs work, but LDs don't Posted: 25 Oct 2015, 03:01 | | rein-o wrote: its the rubber pad on the clamping spindle.

I opened it up today, cleaned the rubber pad, and it's now in working order once again! Just finished watching a movie. | | | | rein-o | Post subject: Re: CLD-D503 Problem - CDs work, but LDs don't Posted: 25 Oct 2015, 05:08 | Jedi Master | | | Joined: 03 May 2004, 19:05 Posts: 7654 Location: Dullaware Has thanked: 993 times Been thanked: 673 times | Congrats, but sooner than later you will need to replace that rubber pad. ________________________________ the rein-o official signature: | | | | | | | | | | You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot post attachments in this forum | |
