Thank you so much for the breakdown of where to lubricate this machine. My Pioneer has been doing something similar for many years (usually though on mine a quick tap to the side gets it going). Now I can finally fix it
@Watcher32235 жыл бұрын
In addition to lubricating the slider track, I'd also recommend checking the condition of the plastic M-Holder (part no. VNL1779, discontinued) mounted on the pickup. Sometimes, one of the two plastic poles on the M-Holder holding each of the gears in place can break and cause problems with the slider mechanism on the pickup, likely due to strain on the mechanism due to dried lubrication on the track. Since the part is discontinued, you may have to repair the M-Holder so it can properly retain the gears for the slider mechanism if the M-Holder is broken.

From looking at the DuPont application guide for the Molykote line, it sounds like the "slides and glides" application for metal-to-plastic and plastic-to-plastic contact, you probably want MOLYKOTE 33 Light or Medium Extreme Low Temperature Grease. These are both available in 5-oz tubes for $20-50 at numerous suppliers.

I have a 505 that sometimes fails to get the laser assembly into position when I load a disc. It starts to move, but then there's a sound like there's a blockage, and it ejects the disc tray. Only with LDs, though, CDs play fine. This explains what was going on inside. I found that a slight application of percussive maintenance (slapping both sides of the case at the same time) will dislodge the assembly past the sticking point. I guess some grease would be better for it in the long run, since I do see some glitching at the end of some CAV discs, and that's apparently caused by an alignment issue.

I used to work in a DVD Factory they melted down the plastic, made the data dies, made the data foil, made the two halves, assembled all together with lacquer, spinning at high speed then compressed together. silkscreen the disc & the whole shabang! You would have loved this place. I certainly did! :-) It was owned by Technicolor Universal Pictures & was located in Pinckneyville Illinois. Under different names like Mums, Technicolor. The entire process from plastic pellets to finished DVD's with case and all printed material was made there and would cost them around $0.19 ea "they told me" however that was not enough profit for them! The entire place shut down and moved to Mexico not too long after they made the movie (The Incredibles) There was even an idiot that snuck a copy of that movie out & put it on the internet before the movie came out While I worked there... and yes needless to say the movie got taken down immediately, the FBI got involved, the guy lost his job & probably ended up in prison! Some of the things people do??? I enjoyed working around that technology and was amazed at how much was involved from start to finish. The only thing I did not like about the place was ( but understandable) how tight the security was! Had to be searched from head to toe even take your shoes off but at the end they had a shoe scanner so we didn't have to do that anymore. You are right the dish is constructed of two halves plus the data foil & lacquer. people would be amazed how much is involved in the making of the simple DVD or laser disk or disc.

Of course they did as they were one of the pioneers in the field and manufactured laserdisk players right from the start to the end of production. Now before anyone nit picks as to who invented the laser disk, it was first demonstrated in 1972 by Philips (Magnavox) and MCA (discovision) In the USA MCA owned the rights to the trademark name Discovision, howevere philips marketed it under their name Laservision. The first commercial release was the movie "Jaws" under the MCA Discovision banner. Pioneer initially manufactured players for "Discovision" but they didn't develop the first player. From Wikipedia "Optical video recording technology, using a TRANSPARENT disc, was invented by David Paul Gregg and James Russell in 1958 (and patented in 1961 and 1990). The Gregg patents were purchased by MCA in 1968. By 1969, Philips had developed a videodisc in REFLECTIVE MODE, which has advantages over the transparent mode." Ultimately the reflective mode became the standard.

Great presentation. I have a few discs for posterity's sake off eBay quite a number of years ago. The player was a nice Pioneer but didn't last long. The trays wouldn't open. Tried to have it fixed. They couldn't figure it tout. I managed to record the very first release of Star Wars Ep IV with the 'authentic' film like with dust & scratches to DVD-R via a SONY TRV-30 Mini DV Camcorder with analog pass-thru to a Mac Pro to Movie to iDVD if I recall. I think I have all of the Star Wars releases incl the Definitive Edition black box wiht a book (I have the blue case VHS with an abridged book), Alien and Aliens SE and T2 SE in the black faux leather box with silver 3D logo (they also made one in gold) and a few others Some were scratched enough they wouldn't have played anyhow. At the end of this video $163 wholesale for 1941 in 1996 adjusted for inflation 2020 I'll wait for DVD technology and get it for $10 lol

Nice multi player, that laser mechanism is very clever but a simple enough to service :-D. I had a vague memory of the cav/clv methods, but it applied to computer readers/writers. I also knew that audio cd's slowed down so the laser always saw the same amount of material pass the laser. (Crude understanding on my part). 500rpm down to 200 i think for audio cd, memory has faded a bit lol. Four disks for a movie, thats special alright. Smashing that you have a great collection dave :-D. imagine if they had made recordable versions... A1 quality recordings with no bloody compression :-D. Shame that it didnt catch on,
@12voltvids5 жыл бұрын
They did have a recordable version. Not sold to consumers, but there was an industrial recorded. I looked at one once but decided against it. The unit was 4,500 and the blank disks that you could write to once were something like 70.00 each, and it recorded only in CAV mode, so 30 minutes max. It could write full video or a single frame at a time for archiving still images.

LaserDisc can't compete with DVD in terms of picture quality, assuming the DVD is encoded at maximum bitrate (there are no visible compression artifacts at maximum bitrate). NTSC LD has 425 TVL of luma resolution, and up to 160 TVL of chroma resolution (though most players and/or TVs-via-their-composite-input used low cost comb filters which could only decode 40 TVL of chroma resolution), and it's interlaced. On the other hand, NTSC DVD is 720 x 480 resolution, progressive (you need a progressive scan DVD player and at least a 31 kHz TV for progressive scan though; on a standard 15 kHz TV you have to use interlaced mode). Color is component (YCbCr, 4:2:0 chroma subsampling, 8 bits per color), which in analog terms would translate to about 240 TVL of chroma resolution. So DVD has significantly higher luma and color resolution than DVD, as well as far superior color separation due to its video signal being component rather than composite, and it's progressive rather than interlaced. As for sound, many LaserDiscs had Redbook CD-spec audio (2-channel, 16-bit, 44.1 kHz, uncompressed LPCM). The DVD standard supports that type of audio (in 48 kHz form), but I don't know of any Hollywood DVD release that used it, because it takes up so much space. The vast majority of DVDs have AC-3 audio (AC-3 = lossy compression), at a maximum bitrate of 96 kbps per channel (which = 192 kbps for a 2-channel track). So LDs commonly had better sound than DVDs, at least with regard to mono or stereo tracks. With regard to 5.1 AC-3 tracks, with LDs that had them, they were usually 384 kbps (64 kbps per channel), while with DVDs that had them, they were usually 448 kbps (74.67 kbps per channel), so DVD wins there. With regard to 5.1 DTS tracks, with LDs that had them, they were usually 1,235 kbps (205.83 kbps per channel), while with DVDs that had them, they were usually 768 kbps (128 kbps per channel), so LD wins there.

Cost probably. They would have to double everything. By using just 1 pickup for both sides the same servo circuits can be used. Just reverse the direction of the disk and flip the laser over.

I hope you see this. I have a Japanese Pioneer DVL 919. It worked when I bought it but in shipping. it stopped working back here in the states. The tray opens. CD, DVD, and LD spin but only for a few seconds and then it just stops and opens the tray. The only one that doesn't open is CD...it just stops. What can possibly be wrong? I opened it up and the LD spins for about 3 seconds and then stops and ejects. It does recognize the discs as well. So it knows its an LD, or DVD or CD and all content is Japanese media.

I have a CLD-D500 dual sided Pioneer laser, that used to work flawlessly for my wife's Karaoke LDs. We moved and now it will power on, tray works, CD or LD will load and start playing for 30 seconds or a minute at which point the unit turns itself off, including the standby light. I have to unplug the unit for 2 minutes or so and plug it back in at which point power is restored for the same amount of time. It turns off when no disc playing or just idling. I suspect something heat related. I repaired radios for the Air Force for many years, but no video experience and no test equipment beyond a basic multimeter. I suspect something heat related in power supply, but no schematics. Visual inspection does not reveal any bulging caps or loose connections. Any suggestions as to where to look for the fault will be greatly appreciated.

@MaximRecoil5 жыл бұрын
"The difference between laser disc and dvd is like a wav file and a mp3." Not even remotely. A typical MP3 is sourced from a CD, so it's a compressed version of an uncompressed LPCM (WAV) track from the CD. Also, MP3s and WAVs are both digital. Retail DVDs aren't made by capturing the video from a LaserDisc and then compressing it. They are made directly from masters which are far higher quality than both LaserDisc and DVD. A full-spec DVD video stream is superior to a LaserDisc's in every way: higher resolution, progressive instead of interlaced, higher color resolution, and encoded with a component signal (YCbCr) instead of a composite signal (CVBS) for far better color separation. On the other hand, LaserDiscs usually have better quality audio than DVDs.

Hello. I have this same player I’ve had it for years but now it won’t play a disc it revs up like it’s going to play but it puts a HI word on the display. Is this an easy fix?

Nice video. I have a pioneer DVL-909 that's still kickin'. I had to lubricate the rails recently but all is good and I occasionally have that belt slipping issue you addressed. I do have a question about the outputs. Mine has RGB outs but when I plugged in a RGB to VGA cable that I recently bought I am only getting a greyish green screen. I plugged the same cable into my DVD LG deck's RGB outs and it works perfectly. I notice that the LD player has Y Cb Cr but my LG DVD player has Y Pb Pr outs. would that be why? the screen is an Acer. the composite output works to my projector perfectly by the way

Dvd player has progressive out. Y PB pr indicates progressive. Y CB CR. Means component video (interlaced) now, since your laserdisk is an analog composite format, inside the player there is a circuit to decide the composite to component. Your monitor needs to be able to process a component interlaced signal. If the decoder in the laserdisk is working and you are getting the component red and blue signals out then the monitor is not capable of displaying interlaced component.

My pioneer cld-v820 was working perfectly but then I put in a dvd and now it won’t eject, the buttons show visually that they’re being pressed but they don’t seem to function anyone find themselves in the same predicament?

I recently got a Pioneer CLD-V510 and the picture either cuts out periodically or the color behaves badly. I've watched the discs many times on another machine and it isn't the discs. Could it be electrostatic discharge disrupting the video (and sometimes audio) signal?
@12voltvids5 жыл бұрын
Check capacitors in power supply for high ESR. That is the place to start. The caps start to fail and ripple from the power transformer gets into the video circuits and causes problems.

I have both a pioneer and Panasonic laser disc players. Neither one will play side two. Possibly a lubrication problem? I also have an extensive collection too. Any alternative grease other than the lithium grease that I can get at Home Depot? Please don’t laugh. lol.

Wasn't Magnavox a Philips brand? Because they couldn't use the name "Philips" in the US due to it being similar to "Philco"?
@12voltvids3 жыл бұрын
Philips was available in North America. They built stuff in Ontario. My grandmother's first color tv was a Philips. That was 1968, a Philips k6 full tube job. Philips also owned Magnavox and sold product under both names. I believe the Magnavox brand was more prevelant in the USA, but in Canada there were Philips dealers and Magnavox dealers. My parents first color set in 1970 was also a Philips, a modular 4 hybrid. I actually learned to service tvs on those 2 sets. They were pretty unreliable. Every time you turned around something broke on them. The Philips service man told my grandmother in the early 70s that her tube set was not worth fixing so i got into it when I was about 14 and tinkered. How I didn't electrocute myself is a miracle. Actually how I am still is a miracle considering how many times i received big time shocks when I was in the business.

Probably something wrong with the gears on the disc tray. Unscrew the top cover and see if you can detect what isnt working when you try eject.

ED Beta didn't have the best quality of any analog consumer formats?
@12voltvids5 жыл бұрын
ED beta had a good picture, but it was still a color under system where the color is converted down to 688KHz and is bandwidth limited. It is then converted back to the 3.58mhz on playback like all video tape formats. Laserdisk recorded a direct composite signal like 1" video tape. No bandwidth limiting on the chroma signal. So yes ED Beta had a good picture, as did S-VHS, but laser disk was still considerably better.

i have a Pioneer DVL 919, why is the picture all pixellated and smeared like 8 bit color? Laser going bad?
@12voltvids4 жыл бұрын
Is that the one that had the digital processing. One of them did and I forget the model, but basically theu digitized the video and then converted it back to analog again so it could so special effects like slo mo, and freeze on CLV recorded disks. The digital board devolops problems, usually bad SME caps and that causes it to produce a bad picture. I have never fixed the module. The only time I saw one was under warranty and the board was swapped.
