lonerangerface wrote: This concerns me, but does the skipping problem spread from one player to another? Simple answer.... no. However, it's possible that the disc you have might have a pressing defect that can act up differently on different players. I just purchased a copy of "Into The Woods" and so far the one player I tried it on has the tendency to skip and distort the picture in the first 3 min or so but after I reload it I will sometimes get perfect playback. I'm sure if I try this disc on a different player it may play perfectly on it (which I will test tomorrow). lonerangerface wrote: I don't know how to say this but every LD player I buy, it turns out not being the way I expect them. It's so hard to find the source of this stupid skipping problem! Just remember, you are buying something that is "old". One must expect that a machine that is 20 to 30 years old has a very high possibility of needing a tune-up. How does the player handle CD and LD playback on other discs in your collection?

I don't know how to say this but every LD player I buy, it turns out not being the way I expect them. It's so hard to find the source of this stupid skipping problem! You’re buying 40 year old stuff. Don’t expect it to work like it’s brand new. This is real life, not a YouTube video.

M-Holder might be broken on the CLD-D604. What does the M-Holder (VNL1637) have to do with skipping? Why don't I ever see them on eBay anymore? Then again, I was probably thinking they should have just added a lot more protection before shipping the players to me.

NOS M-Holders are incredibly rare and not worth buying unless VNL1779. You can verify if this is indeed broken and the cause of skipping on your CLD-D604. Help is on the way. 3D printed M-Holder betas are making their way around and should be available for sale soon. Personally, I don't even think a double boxed VNL1637 would survive shipping...

Just look at section 2.7: https://manuals.lddb.com/LD_Players/Pioneer/CLD/CLD-D780/CLD-D780-EN_Service_Manual_Scan.pdf

You just turn worm gear to move carriage closer to spindle, remove four tiny screws and that is it. Still tedious but not as bad as some other tasks.

Pioneer CLD-3030: the unit did initially have an issue getting the disc spun up so I had to eject and made a 2nd attempt and then it played perfectly. This is actually pretty normal for this player when trying to playback an Image Entertainment title as they had some compatibility issues back in the late 80’s. Pioneer CLD-D701: no issues at all. Pioneer CLD-M90: no issues at all. The more I think about it now, my ProScan unit probably needs a focus adjustment as I recall it does have a minor issue with laser lock on one of my CAV discs. I’ll get started on tweeking it soon when I move the M90 into my set-up.

The players that were updated had a blue dot on the box. You had to depend on the dealer to let you know about this, was not a public recall. That is what I thought too. I guess I missed my chance to get that bug fixed and now I have to live with it. Any idea what chip it was that needed new firmware? cplusplus wrote: Interesting. Are they all 3M? Yeah. I recall that every disc I had issues were always the Image titles but it did affect other production companies as they would sometimes have 3M press their titles for them. I think my Fantasia CAV edition has the same problem spinning up.
