just got an player home that I wanted as backup, an japanese dvl-9 player. after 4 discs with 2 hours of player is just start spinning the disc and then shut down, I believe I had an error like this before on another player but it was the power transformer that was to weak, dont think thats the problem now....

anyone got any ideas ?

It is having issues trying to sync the video. Could be either the pickup or electronics. You need to have someone look at it, I don't think it si the supply

and it shuts down for safety ?

Sometimes it works now, but mostly it just shuts down, cds working all the time.

That happens often due to the lack of video sync up. But since you play CDs okay and intermittent on LDs, try cleaning the clamps. Could be the discs slip upon spin-up, don't get to proper RPMs and the laser doesn't read and so shuts down. The clamping discs may have residue build up, stuck particles that are glazed, etc, that need cleaning away.

Best way is if you can take loose and lift off the top clamp, so the bottom one is easy to reach as well as the top one. While you are at it, clean the lens just for the ease of access.

That's the same mech as the DVL-700/90 and the rubber at the disc table is known for going bad. Cleaning the rubber might solve it. As pointed out it could very well be disc slip.

thanks for the tips, will try that !

hehe I never got to fix this, and then it simple just got in the closet, I believe it is the rubber, is there any replacement rubber to buy or do I need to go buy the whole clamp? And does anyone know the part number if so ?

Thanks!

I thing Duncan at LDService has replacement pad or rubber for that if it's same as DVL 700.

Guess I could do that, does he take pm:s or should I send him an email ?

he takes PMs but you can also send an email.
i had to get a rubber ring for my D503 office player. now i just have to get the time to put it on.

The rubber sheet is part number VEB1272 and it shows as not available. I use VEB1237 (which is for the 503, 703, 704, 79, 99....). The size is a "bit" different. It works but it takes great care installing it. Once properly installed it works fine

Thanks Duncan!
