So as I've been expanding my LD movie library I've been wanting to at least get a second player in good working order. There was a posting up on my local CL for awhile for a CLD D504 and I finally bit. Turns out the owner was the founder of the original "The Singing Company" in Kansas City. Long since retired and a really nice guy. We had a pretty long chat about his history with the business, how it was the first karaoke place in this general area etc... He actually got away from singing for a bit but reignited his passion for it some years back at a concert, and digitized this whole LD collection. Ended up getting the player, all his karaoke LDs (some pretty cool ones too, even Japanese discs with songs I know, about 90 all together) and a couple of 30 capacity LD holding cases (never seen anything like them before but I assume they were sold at retail, they have a wood frame and the holders that come out are gray plastic) branded the "The Singing Company" on the side.
I'm wondering a couple things.
This is the first time I've ran into actual discs with visible physical wear and tear. Some have some edge chips, inner ring cracks etc... Are these safe to put in a player?
It didn't come with the remote. Running into the exact remote might be a little tricky so I was wondering what other remote models would have good compatibility with this player.

I was wondering if this remote would work with my 504: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Pioneer-CU-CLD ... SweBFar~ECMy only main concern is being able to switch audio tracks for commentary. Thanks in advance to anyone able to answer.

I do wonder if that one mod one user posted about making a composite output from the IC before the video hits the comb filter would work on this player too? Yeah it's not perfect for sure. Watched Arsenic and Old Lace last night and it can be hard to tell if things are on the player or the disc. I know a few things were just film issues from the old transfer. Overall the picture quality is good enough. So far I've only watched very old movies, but I have some anime on the way which will be a more interesting test. Also Ugetsu and Sunrise, a Song of Two Humans but those are both quite old. I like how old movies look and feel on LD. @sjoerg: I ended up ordering the remote, I think it should work with both of my players.
