Hey All,
Have a CLD-D704. Over the summer, I was having load issues and after checking here and several other places, it was determined I needed a new load belt and grip ring. I bought and successfuly replaced them (verified they were the correct ones before purchasing) and my player was functioning perfectly. I use it at least once a week, and when I went to use it tonight, it would not properly load.
When I put in a disc, the tray retracts, and instead of hearing the normal operation (which I believe is the lower assembly seating the disc and raising it to the standby position, it sounds like it is stopping short of that and then the player ejects the disc. I tried it with several discs to make sure it was not just a faulty disc, and the behavior repeats consistently - the drawer retracts, it sounds like the player in unable to seat the disc (almost as if the process is being interrupted or blocked, and then the disc is ejected.
Any thoughts or help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks! Scott

I have an update and hopefully you all have some insight. I took apart the player to replace the belt, and as I suspected the belt was perfectly fine - it is only 3 months or so old.
What I found was that as the disc retracted in, and tried to raise up, the upper clamp was giving resistance, and not allowing to disc to be completely raised up. This is what was making the straining sound, and forcing the disc to be ejected. I cleaned up the upper clamp on the surface, and this helped slightly. I got the player working, but it's a matter of time before it stops again.
Do I need to replace the upper clamp, or does it just need a cleaning? If a cleaning, does anyone have experience with this? Is it an easy task?
Thanks everyone!!
