Good morning community,
yesterday I watched "Eraser" with Arnold Schwarzenegger and when the laser was supposed to switch to the B side the film didn't proceed - instead I got the error message "P5" on the display. I stopped the LD (NTSC) and tried again - same result. To be sure I took another LD (PAL), tried A and B side - both worked.
Searching in the net I found this:
CODE
MEANING
H0
Spindle overcurrent detection
U0
FG abnormality (spindle speed sensor)
H1
Spindle not reaching required speed before time-out
H2
A0
-5V power supply line abnormality
L*
Loading error (timed-out, no tilt)
E*
Slider error
U1
Miss clamp
P*
Spindle error
F*
Focus error
* = 1: Play, 2: Open, 3: Standby, 4: Clamp, 5: Setup (rotation start), 6: TOC read, 7: Play
8: Search, 9: Side A > B, A: Side B > A
So I had a Spindle error/Setup (rotation start)
What does this mean exactly? Is there a problem with the specific Laserdisc or with the player???
Thanks for your help!
Klaus
