Hi. I am the happy owner of Denon LA-2700. I would like to protect myself for the future and buy another one as a part backup in case of a breakdown. There is information on the website that Pioneer CLD-D515 (AC3RF) (1995) is a clone, it will fit ? It looks different than Denon and I have doubts. Pioneer CLD-D925 (1996) looks almost identical! Maybe there is a mistake on the website? Thank you in advance for your help!

If you're looking for a clone that is a near bit for bit copy of your Denon unit, the CLD-D515 is the player to look for.
Regardless what the front panel looks like (they are different on purpose because of design preferences), the back panel is what you should be focused on based on the locations of where the connection jacks are. Obviously the 515 lacks the SCART connector but the RCA jacks are in the same place.
Moving on, if you're looking for a player w/ mechanical spare parts that you can use to help fix your Denon, you can pretty much pick any player that has the Epsilon Turn design (it's how the laser pick up flips from side to side and this version is like a "U-turn" unlike the Alpha and Gamma Turn versions). The earliest models w/ Epsilon Turn begin in 1995 w/ the Pioneer models CLD-D504, CLD-D604, and CLD-59. After that, most CLD auto reverse players are all Epsilon Turn except the CLD-D704, CLD-79, and CLD-99 (all Gamma Turn).

Also, be aware that a very common issue with Epsilon Turn players is that the motor holder for the laser pick-up has a propensity to break over time (brittle plastic pins can snap). If this occurs, the laser assembly will either move erratically or not at all. You can order a 3D printed replacement here….. https://www.ebay.com/itm/175989514577I would order one in advanced just to have it available. This type of part would most likely be broken in whatever parts player you might acquire.
