I hope somebody can help me here. I have a D503 player in good shape. It powers up ok and plays cd's with no issues. However, whenever I load a laserdisc it loads and recognizes it as a laserdisc but... When I hit play it spins up very briefly and then goes straight into standby mode. When I hit the change side button it completes the gamma turn and spins up briefly (but a bit more than last time) and the display dims very briefly and then goes straight to standby mode again.
I am running it on a 240 to 115v transformer & this unit needs 120v. Could this be the issue? Or is it a bad motor that can spin up a cd but not a laserdisc?
Anyway... Help!
Although, I am running the unit of a 50w power supply and it needs 40w. I think it might be drawing too much power from the supply and switching off as a result in laserdisc mode. I need to get a beefier power supply and test again.
