Hello there everyone! Newbie here who just got his first LD player, the Pioneer CLD-3070. Just tested it out this afternoon and found a few minor problems with the unit. First, I can eject the disc try via the button on the remote and the button on the player just fine, but when trying to eject the tray BACK INTO the player, neither option does anything. I have to gentle nudge the tray into the play with my finger until the tray retracts itself back. Perhaps it's one of the many belts in the unit that has perished? Speaking of perishing, I found a very brown strip of cleaning cloth that I think was suppose to sit in the tray? I tried pulling it out as carefully as I could to take a picture, but it's ready to disintegrate the next time I touch it. Does anyone know where this strip is suppose to go and is there a replacement thats available? Also, I found that my power button on my remote has a tear in it that I'm trying to prevent from ripping the button apart. Is there any ideas on finding a replacement for that as well? Other than that, this unit seems to be in pretty damn good shape. I'll keep testing it tomorrow to see if I find anything else. Thanks again for those who can help. I appreciate your advice! Hope to hear back from you all soon!

When you close the player press play, that should work. Enjoy that player, its a good one and I'm surprised that it didn't freeze up from the old grease.
And you are way way too picky about the power button that has a little split. Thanks rein-o, Glad to know the strip wasn’t preventing anything from hitting or scratching the surface. I’ve read about these doors being seased up as well, but was lucky enough to find this guy. Do you have any ideas on how to get the door to retract or what might be causing it? Neither the eject button on the remote or the player work and pressing play doesnt make the player automatically retract.

Swg8taGS8Thttps://www.ebay.com/itm/Pioneer-CU-CLD ... SwXYtY3Blz- this is a very similar remote to the CU-CLD008 attached to my CLD-3030. it's easy to dismantle and replace the button matrix pad... You and I might call it OCD tasuke, but my parents think I have a mental disorder for investing into this format Then again, I have made similar investments... (see photo). As for disassembling the remote, I’ve tried taking apart game controllers before and it’s like trying to put a puzzle box back together Hopefully the buttons don’t all fall out of place or feel loose after taking the remote apart. Do you happen to have any similar videos or references I could refer to?

And you are way way too picky about the power button that has a little split. I had a 3070 that wouldn't load discs. Re-greasing the gears fixed the problem. The hardest part of the repair was getting the mechanism out of the player in its "frozen" state.

I was going to tackle it but didn't have the time when it was an issue and also I'm glad to keep him in business as much as I can.

Not to be a pain, but this is my first LD player. Should I just take apart the player, pop the disc in, and see if the disc vibrates while spinning? What steps can I take at home to correct this issue? Also, I thought cross-talk just referred to image/audio sync up on playback? Hope to hear back from you soon! -Mason F.

These discs are much larger than CDs. I haven't had my player connected in about 8 months now since my move but I sort of remember noise from lets say slipping or just reading the disc. Good luck with LD

I tried playing a different movie and continuously hear the laser working during playback, but with a different LD in the tray (both '12 size) I don't hear anything. Why might that be? Can you provide an audio clip of the noise? Frankly, we're all just guessing.

Can you provide an audio clip of the noise? Frankly, we're all just guessing. Sure thing! I've made two videos: 1 with a control disc (Tenchi Muyo!) that operates as normal in the player. https://youtu.be/xBXvHV_tI2MAnd 2 with the problem disc (Shawshank) with the squeaky laser noise. https://youtu.be/6_HSn-munqIThe player also most likely has never been opened, so perhaps it just needs a good cleaning? But if thats the case, why would Shawshank be the only disc with the problem? I also will have to look into why the door won't retract, so I'll be going in there anyway. Also, sorry for my annoying voice.
