Pioneer Laserdisc player changing sides.

Pioneer CLD-3070 Laserdisc Player with auto side change. These players can suffer from a stiff/slow/jammed loading mechanism this one needed to be disassembled, cleaned and re-greased before it would work. It still gets stuck sometimes especially when its cold.

Does the movie stop when changing sides and pick up where it left off on the second, and is there a notification that the player is switching sides?

@static1994 If the player has a framestore / TBC it will keep the last frame on screen while changing side.

[static1994]

@Paul375 Is it like the pause feature or is it continuous?

[Paul375]

@static1994 Still frame stays on the screen.

I've been trying to get my hands on this exact same model. I have one question: Do you know if this deck can play CAV's? It's obvious it can play CLV's, but I wasn't too sure about CAV's.

[Paul375]

Yes it can.

As far as I know all consumer machines can except the really old ones?

[Paul375]

It plays fine. It only looks warped while its getting up to speed.

That disc is pretty warped! Does it play OK?

I was in an internal battle as to whether or not I should get the CDJ-900 or the CDJ-2000. The price gap is quite a bit but those CDJ2000s just look amazing. I ended up getting these along with the DJM700. I could not have made a better decision in my opinion. There are so many different ...

I just picked up a CLD-3070 at a Good Will store today. It was half price because it had been sitting there for 3 weeks. With my 10% off senior discount it came to $17.99! It came with the remote and seems to work perfectly! I wish it had a headphone jack, but I'm pretty happy. I've got a bunch of laser discs to play on this thing. Is there any preventative maintenance I should be doing? It was great to see your video of the auto reverse mechanism working. Thanks for doing that.

Cool! I have the same player & always wondered how it switched.

[static1994]

@Paul375 Handy feature. I wonder why a multidisk changer was never incorporated into LAserDisc, sort of like a Jukebox... That might be interesting...

Does the laser ever present reloading problems? Does it fteeze or jamb?

@3bhui thats good to know...I thought about buying a player with auto-flip for convenience, but that sounds like more of a hassle than manual flip. thanks for the info.
