Can the unit play a CD? My understanding is that this is a good first step to determine if the player might have an alignment issue. If it plays, the centering of the mechanism should be fine and now you'll have to determine what other issue might be the cause. In any case, someone on the site with more knowledge than me will probably be posting shortly to help you out.

Thank you everyone for willing to help. I bought this machine a while back, maybe 3-4 years ago at a yard sale. The owner said he didn't know much about it as it was his dad's player. I just couldn't help myself and bought it for $20 or $25 I believe, so it's been sitting in my basement for a while. Yesterday it was really the first time I decided to look at it since I've been downsizing a bit.
That said, I tested it with a CD this morning, and it played flawlessly - no problems scanning forward or backwards, within a second it started playing the track. With an LD, all of side A is distorted. Now there is no audio coming out, just crackling. The disc I'm testing "For The Boys" starring Bette Midler, has digital audio, but I'm only testing it with the analog audio directly plugged into my 50" plasma TV.
I've attached pictures of the opening 20th Century Fox logo and the beginning of the credits. Also, when I push the "Side B" button to play, it does sound a little rough when the alpha mechanism rotates but I know that most likely, I need to replace the belt. Anyway, Side B plays fine, both audio and sound. I've also flipped the disc to start playing Side B first and the same problem occurs with the distorted audio/video, so I know it's not the disc.
20 minutes into Side A, and still no sound - video quality still terrible. If I try to advance using either a remote or the chapter skip, the laser pickup tries to move to that position. After a few seconds, it stops completely, so chapter scanning is also off.

That's what I'm thinking ldfan -- really odd. I tried playing "Escape from New York" widescreen edition with similar results. With this latter disc, when playing Side A, there's lots of crosstalk again, no audio coming out. Once again, side B plays fine but I do notice some crosstalk and if I try to scan to a chapter (on Side B), it was unable to find it and returned to the same spot where it was before. Another thing I noticed with this disc is that the closed captions are on by default. I believe the laser pickup unit is probably misaligned but not sure how to fix it. I'll let the experts weigh in. Thanks again! JP This is Side B: Attachment:
