I would check the battery contacts first to see if there is any potassium residue and clean it up since it would insulate the contacts and prevent new batteries from working. If that is not the issue, maybe a cold solder joint or a crack in the board that can be fixed with a soldering iron.

If that is not the issue, maybe a cold solder joint or a crack in the board that can be fixed with a soldering iron. I did check the contacts for residue - looked clean. Strangely, the 'Lighting' button does work, but no response from anything on the player. I doubt I have the mechanical skill to effectively solder, but I will hold on to it - I see this particular remote model is available online if I want to pony up more cash.

If it’s lighting up, good sign the remote is fine. If you have a digital camera, shining the IR into the lense barrel and observing the viewfinder will show a blinking light when you press a button on the remote (in most cases). If you are getting that, then the remote is fine and now you need to figure out what might be wrong with IR receiver on the player. You might want to look at the back of the player first and make sure nothing is plugged into the SR Control “In” jack as that would kill the IR.

xtempo wrote: a quick note on Harmony remotes that they are all different so you would have to research what features you want to use on your LD player and get which HR model is more advance and possibly will work with all the features you want but still for some players I feel like I need to the OG remote since my harmony haven't helped much on some settings which I can't change. I have yet to buy the really advance one [the high end model ] so that one would might help the best for all y equipment rather than the ones I have used. Pioneer made really good remotes for LD* if you’re really into using your LD player that is. No universal that I’m aware of has a LD compatible jog dial. Even getting the Audio or DA/CX buttons isn’t easy with most and those are crucial for me personally, ditto for all the Multi-speed and repeats. I use almost every button on the stock CLD-99 remote at least once a week. The basic design of that remote is used on many others, they just don’t usually have the backlight or variable DNR buttons. As long as the player is new enough to use the Audio button** it has I’d hunt one of those down. * Remotes for Laseractive and DVLs suck, but most are good. ** Some earlier players have a button that switches between Analog and Digital and another that picks between 1/L and 2/R. Later players only have one button and it cycles through all six choices.

cplusplus wrote: It is just a really strong magnet. Funny you mention this..... The issue I have with my two Denon, LA-3100 is actually quite interesting as they both have very strong magnets in their clamper assembly that really makes the machine struggle to eject when the units are cold (sounds like the typical belt issue where it squeals and when the clamper finally pulls away from the spindle there will be a somewhat loud thump). Also, a nuisance of this issue is related to CD’s that get stuck in the mechanism and end up falling into the machine when ejecting so then I have to open it up to remove it. Anyway, I have messaged Kurtis about this and he did state that stronger magnets are not unusual (and preferred for a tighter grip) but a remedy to the issue could be to grease the clamper assembly and all the parts related to its movement right down to where the loading gears are located. I haven’t gotten around to doing this yet so I can report back when I do finally get it done. If that doesn’t work, I might try something to insulate the magnet more to make it a tad weaker but I would have to work that out first. Also, I do have a 701 which is what the 3100 is based on (they both don’t have coaxial digital outputs which the 702 has) and its clamper is totally fine. I may take both units apart and swap parts to see how they may function to help diagnose the issue further. Sorry for high jacking this part of the topic. I initially was confused by mrhifi’s issue and since I ended up writing this up before I realized it I figured I post it anyway in case anyone else had strong magnet issues.

Thanks for the tip Kurtis. A lot simpler than re-greasing the whole mechanism .

ldfan wrote: when the clamper finally pulls away from the spindle there will be a somewhat loud thump Yep. I think I'm going to try a thicker, tighter belt on these. ldfan wrote: a remedy to the issue could be to grease the clamper assembly and all the parts related to its movement right down to where the loading gears are located. I haven’t gotten around to doing this yet so I can report back when I do finally get it done. I've been meaning to as well. I have done the full clamper, but I have also been meaning to getting around and making a guide for the loading section. I completely disassembled the turn mechanism for these too since one of them was completely gummed up with that orange goop and took photos I need to post. ldfan wrote: If that doesn’t work, I might try something to insulate the magnet more to make it a tad weaker but I would have to work that out first. Interesting idea- I have not thought of this.
