@ Rein-O: I was lucky enough to grow up with LD! The sound didn't bother me and I have seen other players that looked smoother and more stable when revved. Plus, pausing CAV doesn't give me a solid picture like I'm used to, especially towards the end of the disc where it seems worse. Even the OSD flickers during frame by frame.
@CPlusPlus: I realize that I could have done just that one adjustment, but so much of the pleasure of this is learning how the players work. I have a scope and the test disc and I was hoping to have a new-performing player for $50. I don't even know if the player needs alignment, I'm just excited to do it. I also want to recap, do a clock mod, change the diodes, get an rf tap for domesday captures, tap the video after the tbc and run it through that new-fangled comb filter from analogue devices. I don't know how to do any of this, but I know how to stay alive around a power supply, so I'm planning on moving forward it if it can be saved.

This is normal if you are using a modern display like a LED TV. If there is frame jumping when you pause though, that is not normal. 5cofflaw wrote: I don't even know if the player needs alignment, I'm just excited to do it. Honestly, when I pick up a player from an original owner or at least someone who has taken care of it, the most I usually have to do is adjust the tilt offset. I just put in the test disc, check #115, #475. If it needs adjustment, it usually isn't far off. You don't want to start messing with centering, grating, etc unless you have to. The CLD-D703 is an expensive player to learn on, so I'd recommend getting a cheaper broken late model player if you want to go that route. Very helpful things:
