Post subject: | [CLD-3030] Player Review (1988) |
here are, in my years of searching, all of the variants i know of, of PIONEER's 1987/1989 CLD-3030 family of LDP designs, covering JPN, U.S. and EURO markets. some of these seem to be especially rare birds indeed, irrespective of the market one searches for them in; [Reveal] Spoiler: CLD-3030 (U.S.) (PERSONAL CUSTOM) CLD-1030 (U.S.) CLD-V190 (U.S.) CLD-99S (JPN) LD-7700S (JPN) CLD-1200 (EURO) LD-V2200 (INDUSTRIAL) U.S. CLD-3030 is a very modestly stripped-down variation of it's JPN CLD-99S equivalent. primary differences are a lower grade sheet-metal bottom panel for the 3030, versus heavier-gauge Copper-plated panel for 99S, dk./lt. orange display panel shading for 3030, versus blue/red for 99S, and the 99S' lack of tray provision for 8cm. CD-SINGLE. that aside, JPN CLD-99S is the superior of the two, even if only by very slim cosmetic margin... [Reveal] Spoiler: CLD-3030 (PERSONAL CUSTOM) CLD-99S - personally, i also prefer the "LASERVISION/CD/CDV PLAYER" legend over the U.S. model's "CD/CDV/LD PLAYER" YMMV and all that, of course... |

all told, the 3030 is among the very best 80's LDPs ever marketed in the U.S. -and one of the most cosmetically attractive models ever designed, YMMV- probably not nearly good enough for those whom desire only the state of the art in LD playback, but eminently watchable all the same, -usually at least as much as a good S-VHS recording- and probably as good as most would ever need. at any rate, here are some screencaps that might help determine if this model would prove personally acceptable; TOP GUN (1986) (PIONEER LDC SPECIAL EDITION, 1995) [Reveal] Spoiler: MOLDIVER (1992) [Reveal] Spoiler: |

I also find my CLD-3030 will play through some disc defects better then my other players. It's a very quiet player with less vibration, maybe being the type of disc clamp is has. |

yep, and my own is actually even quieter yet, thanks to the added isolation. a recommended, -and damn good looking, YMMV- tweak for any 3030-series owner; |
