Hello all, I'm crashoveride
Mainly interested in Laserdisc because I have a CRT (KV-20FV12 Trinitron), and was always interested in how good LD was in action.
Additionally, I have a vested interest in many films' original audio mixes which often are left on LD only, or special features such as isolated scores or M&E tracks which are not brought over to BD.
I'm currently trying to buy a player at a good price (mainly one with a digital optical/coax out for easy digital track transfer)
I've read good things about the CLD-D703, so hopefully I can find one soon |

I just posted that more or less to archive it since I had both desoldered. They might look similar, but the transformers are different. The world probably won't end if you test it on 120V, but I personally would not run it on anything other than 100V.
Yeah, I think once I get it working I'll buy a stepdown |

Update: through sheer luck someone else was having the same issue as me with a similar model, and sent a less damaged gear to LaserParts. He has just finished modelling the gear, and is currently doing print tests

| IMO risky because many sellers rip from yahoo auctions listings but mark up the price by hundreds. If you want to buy a player from Japan I'd suggest something like Zenmarket with Yahoo auctions, they pack very well |

On most players, disc with a signal to auto turn on CX will lock it on, preventing it from being turned off
CX lowers noise for better audio quality, yes |

Additionally, some players require 8" discs due to the pots being below where a 12" would fit
For the record, X player's service manual should be the go-to for what test disc you really need
From what I've seen, GGV1069 is considered the most "compatible", but as rein-o said quite a few players were meant for a specific disc in mind |

The only players that require that adapter are 80s units; a new player like the DVLs should not need it
This is a really basic guess but have you ever replaced the belt? If not perhaps you could give that a shot; perhaps the belt is getting old and is not providing enough strength to clamp the Single properly
Others probably know a lot more than me on this subject |

Updating this: after some testing with mspaint I found that the CS-450 stops removing the outline at around luma 80 on the color wheel; changed my scripts to use that color as a outline and it's much easier to read now
