Have Pioneer CLD-D515 and occassional get the error code U1 when putting a LD in. I eject and reinsert and the machine works perfectly. Is it on its way out? Machine is just a few months from being 20 years old.

Here i found a list. It is for the cld d925.
I don't see U3, but U1 there, or would it be misclamp standby?

I had once an error code when i tried to pop in a disc which had cracks (Howard Jones LTGTKYW cracked in the mail :( ).
It didn't spin up at all, gave some U* code and ejected the disc.
(Of course it wasn't any good idea to put in a cracked disc to spin at 1800 rpm).

It happens everynow and then. I put a disc on the tray seated correctly and close it. Then I hear a whirring noise then ejects the tray. I check the disc is seated in the tray close it and it works okay.

My discs aren't cracked or anything. I would never put in a damaged disc.

Maybe one of the belts is wearing out? That's a cheap thing to replace at least.

Is that an easy job to do? Bear in mind I don't have a clue how do it.

So does that mean the clamp is starting to go?

Buy a new loading belt and everything will be fine, Pioneer past number VEB1184 then everything will be fine.

My Elite CLD-59 gives me this error as well. Would the above mentioned belt be same part number that I would need or does someone know what that number is? Would really love to get this fixed, as the player is great otherwise.

Same belt in all Pioneer units CLD-D503/703 and newer, including the dvl series.

I have had the same problem on my CLD-925 player for a couple of years now. Other than that the player still works fine. It is easily fixable from what I have heard however
I simply do not have the courage to open my player and fix it myself.

I also own an Elite CLD-59 that was giving the U1 error message when I first tried using it. You might not even need to replace the belt -- I didn't. I got mine working perfectly by removing it and cleaning it/the associated pulleys with some rubbing alcohol. It removed a lot of grime that I can only assume was causing the belt to slip, because it's been working perfectly for me since then.

Sorry to hijack this old thread, but I'm having the same issue with my Pioneer CLD-D406. By "same issue" I mean I hear the whirring sound before the disc is ejected. After a few tries, the disc spins up and plays fine. The CLD-D406 is not listed as a supported unit for the belt part number VEB1184 on their site:

http://parts.pioneerelectronics.com/part.asp?productNum=VEB1184

That said, does anyone know if is it compatible with my player? Or is there a different part number?

Thanks in advance and Happy Easter everyone!

Go to MARVAC.com website and order a SCQ3.8 belt

Can confirm: SCQ3.8 is a better fit for VEB1184 than SCQ3.6 after you suggested it a while back.
