any good? a store near my house is selling one for 100$ idk if i can talk them down, but I've looked it up and it has optical output and I'm pretty sure it's a flipper. How's the noise level though? any other issues like crosstalk?

I think 3080 is non elite ld s2. I dont know 3090 is a direct upgrade or complete new design. If its a flipper then it cant be based off of ld s2.

but the 3080 is a flipper too...

maybe 3070. I know one of those 3000 is based on LD-S2.

Strike one.


Strike two.

Hint: ANY model with "CLD" in it, CANNOT be based on the LD-S2.

TLK

my first player was a CLD-3070 from 1989 so if you get it make sure you get the transit screw.
mine was a good player, it gave a great picture and had digital audio out.

The 3090 was a piece of junk of a player and one of the first to incorporate non-defeatable soft picture, plus it couldn't play certain Technidisc pressings due to the PAL/NTSC bits being set incorrectly on some discs. Pioneer repressed a few of the offending discs and repaired some of the players - then quickly discontinued the model. It wasn't as bad as Philips US version of the CDV-600 though.

I still have mine. I had it modded for AC-3, too!

TLK

my dad has it but somehow lost the transit screw, i know he had the screw about 3 years ago but can't find it now

what do these shipping screws look like? lol cant you find something similar, or make something similar from stuff at the hardware store?

i'm sure you can but if you get one sent in the mail missing the lens on the track could get damaged.
my player now is a newer model made without the transit screw but in shipping the lens came off it's track.

i got in the mail a PR-7820 and the screw is built into the player but the seller didn't attach it and it came off track.

but luckly i was able to fix it, just had to put the rope pully back on.

Yes, just go to the hardware store and buy a screw. All it does is hold the turn mechanism to side A during shipment. Nothing special about it, just need the correct side which I forget. I ship without this all the time.

The LD-S2 is closest to the LD-V8000 but still totally different, it is different from all CLD series players. The CLD-97 uses a similar mechanical assembly to the 20X0/30X0 series but all the boards are totally different.

so is the 3090 as bad as disclord says it is?

Why do you want the 3090? what part of connecticut are you in? I have a Panasonic LX-1000u for $200 obo I am in MA

sorry im all about pioneer haha im not dying to get the 3090 im just thinking about it

for $50 I have a M301 with remote. or $600firm 97 with remote, tweaked by Kbahr and RF mod by MSB. $650 with Lexicon LDD-1. If you buy the 97, I will deliver it to your door at no charge lol

I just noticed this Pioneer 2080 player. Only 10hrs left to go, and not even a bid for 1 penny start price. They only ship to the USA though.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pioneer-Laser-d ... 3ccb99ce58

was going to bid on that one for my work room with a 13 inch TV but i picked up another cheaper player.
O.K. so it may not have ----- but it's for my work room, so i can watch an LD and type at the same time.

but that guy did have it listed before and sold, so i don't know if that deal fell through?
