Wanna try this on my Pioneer CLD-F1 I bought from Japan years ago still in great shape but not reading anything after it takes the disc in. Could it be that shipping process tend to knock them out of alignment or tolerance or something which is a shame since many of these were made to last.

Thanks!! So far it’s working for me!! 🤞🙏

Dude, you're the best...fixed my player in 2023!

I picked up a PIoneer CLD-S303 from the thrift store last week for $10 that had the same problem. I didn't use any washers or extra pieces though. I was able to just slightly loosen the screws and it started playing. I also had the same problem of it being very noisy at first but all I need to do was adjust the screws a bit and now it works perfectly! I had no idea this was such a common problem with Laserdisc players. I'm guessing people had big stereo receivers sitting on top of them back in the day which caused the bar to bend slightly.

I found a Toshiba XR-W90C for a cheap price. Wasn't reading any disks, even cds. I did your trick on mine and it worked perfectly!!!! Thank you man :)

is this panasonic LD?

What size washers were you using ?

Soy de España no hay ningún vídeo explicativo mejor q este hice lo mismo q usted y funciona perfectamente gracias

Looking for a ribbon cable for my cld-604

Thanks a lot! Almost ten years after you posted this video it helped me to fix my Sony MDP650. It was the same issue.

I had a similar issue and adjusting that area fixed mine also

Cool but a good useful Video.

It really worked with my CLD S201 although a technician discouraged me by warning that the optical lens is fatally going to die sooner or later. I didn't mind at all. I am having a lot of fun with my LDs discs collection.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Great hint!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Hi, everyone... I already repair my LD player which doesn't work previously. But the problem now is,it can't stop on the spot when press STOP button.When press stop button,the player continue spinning n stop at it's own time. How do I fix this? Thank you. jasonamo@gmail.com

My Kenwood LD player loads disc thru the tray, rotates but doesn't read the disc. Need help of possible?

Eight years later, I am here to thank you; I will give it a try after lunch!

Thank you for sharing, anonymous tinkerer.

This is a pointless band aid fix - it WILL work..... for a while, and then stop working again. The reason for this is the loading belt has stretched from age and heat. Because the belt has stretched it starts to slips when put under load - which is what happens when the disc is pressed up against the top spindle. This "fix" merely reduces some of the weight the top spindle exerts but shimming it up from the disc slightly.... problem is, as the loading belt CONTINUES to stretch the weight of the top spindle will again become too much and this "fix" will cease to work. Do yourself a favour and simply change the loading belt then you don't have to dodgy up the top spindle support and it will work properly for many years to come. Hope this helps anyone out there with the same problem.

Theres no need to use shims. Just slightly bend the clamp assembly up

I have one that won't even open. How do I fix it? Hopefully.

i just bought a pioneer dvl 90 i hope the LD part plays? i have not had a ld player in years. figure i give it another go around and pick up the star wars trilogy since the one`s on blu ray suck and not the originals.

Just little scratch

Mine works fine but when I play the smaller laserdiscs it makes a ungodly amount of noise. I might try what you did.

You are a gentleman and a scholar, I just bought a CLD-99 and I can't believe it what this easy. It played CDs just fine but LDs had code U1. Thank you kind sir for the video!

Worked with me! Thank you!

Wow! My CLD-79 was making a loud squealing noise that was getting worse when I played LDs. Meanwhile, it was having more and more problems playing CDs. This was the fix! So easy! Thank you very much for posting this! BTW, I didn't bother with the shims, I simply just loosened the screws a little.

Which grease did you use ?

Hello! What model is the laserdisc player in the video? Thanks!

het

I saw Janet Jackson videos....BWHAHAHAHAHHAHAAH :P

Thanx so much for posting this fix. Thats exactly the problem, that occured to my player, after being sent to me. After losening the screws / the bar and put some layers of tape beneath it, the player runs as smooth as silk.

I have a Kenwood LVD K-9200player but the motor would not spin the disk.

THANK FOR POSTING THIS!!!!!

THANK YOU for taking the time to post this. My LD player required a whack each time to play a disc, so stopped using it years ago. Today, decided to see what was under the hood and this video helped me fix my player. THANKS AGAIN!

I have 2 of the panasonic LX-200 one of them does not play nothing moves lights turn on with power - the other one moves but sits in place and clicks none of the buttons seem to work. pause stop ect. Any ideas????

Thank you SO much! I have had a CLD-D406 for years now, and the spindle motor just recently started to seize. Thought it was finally toast, but I did this and it works like a dream again. Thank you SO SO much!

Thanks!!! Just fixed one I ordered off of Ebay...I had purchased two more - both didn't work with rattling parts and a broken tray. I watched this - and then fixed the 1st one I purchased. D'oh. Well - there'll be some listed for parts soon...

My laserdisc is difficult to open and then will not spend. Can you make any suggestions? Thanks.

My laserdisc player squeaks really loudly sometimes. The player is on an even shelf. Is there is quick fix for that?

How do you call those things? could you write/comment them down for me below for me?

You should just bend the metal bar back until it is flat again. You can see that it is bowing downward in your video. Someone has put something heavy on it that bent it in the first place since the cover fits tightly against it when assembled. That is a common problem you show with laserdisc players since when that piece becomes bowed it applies too much clamping pressure and the spindle motor can not spin the disc up to full speed.

Thank you so much. Was getting ready to throw out my LaserDisc Player and buy a new one. Legend!!!

Not sure if it was clear, by using an external drive and having the drive with the appropriate folders in the Mezzmo library, I only need to add the file to the hard drive. Mezzmo already has access to the folders, so I never have to add individual files; hence never look at Mezzmo unless I am ripping a cd.

This fixed a similar problem I had. When I put the disc in it wouldn't fully clamp. Watched your video and figured out it was a very slightly misaligned spindle. Loosened the screws, got it to clamp, reset the screws, and everything was fine. Thanks for the video.

This totally worked. I have another problem now where it's playing the audio from one layer in the right, and another in the left.

Just got a laserdisc player myself and find this video useful.

Not sure if "gay" would be a correct comment but that's what this thing is.
