Does it try to focus; does the laser pickup move up and down? Great question - I just looked at the manual and on the display it's suppose to indicate the type of disc loaded in the player as: LD, CD or CDV. My display shows nothing in that section when I do in fact have a disc in there. Oh boy, what do you think would cause that not to work? Yes it looks like it's trying to focus on the disc, the laser pickup does move up and down.

It’s either not recognizing the disc or the Play button is broke.
What kind of disc are you using? Try it with a CD. Yeah, nothing happens when I push play. Luckily I have the remote control and tried the Play button there too, but no result either. Yep, I think we are getting somewhere, it's not recognizing the discs - that's a LD or a CD.

If you want to get into laserdisc you need to get one from one of us from here who know if a player is working properly. Well the good news is because the person selling it couldn't show me that it worked properly - I didn't have to pay for it. But yeah, if anyone is selling a nice Player - I would be willing to buy one from a trusted source. Let me know. I have a follow-up question - Does the spindle motor need to spin the disc before the player can ID it?

Yeah I was going to say I think the pickup is dead, but wanted to see what Kurtis had to say since he is the expert. krbahr wrote: If you want to get into laserdisc you need to get one from one of us from here who know if a player is working properly. Very true. Funny enough, I'm working on the Mitsubishi rebadge of the CLD-D702 right now that was sold to me as working. The seller knew nothing about laserdisc so he did not know it was not normal for the player to sit searching on side A for 20 seconds before playing...
