The Pioneer CLD-2070 & Pioneer CLD-3070, were the 1st single disc auto reverse LD players and they came out in 1989 (difference is the latter has field memory). Pioneer Elite also released the Pioneer CLD-91 possibly in the same year and it was just a 3070 with the glossy look, wood side panels, & copper chassis (probably some minor performance tweaks as well). Now when it comes to auto reverse in general, 1988 would really be the first year but the player in question is the Pioneer LD-W1, which is the only dual disc / four side changer ever made and makes it a one off type of player vs. the more common single disc units. It only plays LD discs as well (no CD).

ldfan wrote: The Pioneer, CLD-3030... is not an auto reverse player OK, my mistake then. I sure thought I owned a dual-side player before my CLD-D704 in the late 1990s, and I do remember selling my 3030 at a flea market around that time also (for a now-criminal price of about US$40, including remote control, in flawless condition, probably with its box and manual). Maybe I never did. I do know that my first dual-side player would "go back a bit and pick a random freeze frame to put on the screen while it does the auto-flip". If the 704 does that, then it was/is my first one. I should check if that is how it behaves.

The "Hardware Search" is not ready yet but a quick SQL'ing gives 3 USA Players released in 1989: The NEC being very much a clone of the 3070 (same back panel). Julien
