Post subject: Re: What is the most compact LD player ever made? Posted: 05 Oct 2013, 23:51 |

When thinking about lightweight players, I think the DVL 919 is quite lightweight. It's like a feather compared to my CLD 95.
Which reminds me: earlier this year I carried two 3080s at once, and I think they weigh 30lbs each.

PIONEER's engineers were really busting their asses to attempt to attain a VCR-like form factor and design for their more popularly priced LDP offerings for a little while there, back around '86/'88...

The seller wasn't asking much but annoyed me by not answering any of my very basic questions about it like what i/o there was and whether it was even working. Anyone have any experience of them? I saw that one too, unfortunately a very unhelpful vendor. I think it may have been the same one that was advertised much earlier in the year as non-working; someone bought it, couldn't fix it, and tried to sell it on.

happycube wrote: Yeah - I think something V2800 size with (dual pickup?) dual-side play would've been the next step, but AFAIK the V2800 was the last 'new' hardware design. The V2800 actually uses the same LD player mechanism as the DVL-919, except without the dual side playback. I've actually taken the pickup out of a broken DVL-919 and installed it into the CLD-V2800 to bring it back to life.

I kind of think it’s cute. Would be great for tight spaces even though it’s hard to fathom anyone having that issue if one already has a huge library of LDs’. However, that remote is a total turn off.

However, that remote is a total turn off. Yes, the "industrial" remote is a piece of crap, visually. A standard Pioneer CLD remote will work on the V2800 as well.

It would be the elusive Sharp QT 93V Boombox. As it is a Boombox it is literally the only most true portable laserdisc device, though for only the 5" discs then. I own a few CDV only players, but although they are smaller than LD players, they are still decks. They are just CD decks in fact packed with a bulk of videocircuitry to play only a few minutes of video Also the 8" only models are not true portable in the sense of personal stereo type of thing, rather more module type of things.
