I opened it up yesterday, and manually worked the mechanism to get the cage inside to move up and down, and the CD-tray to come out.

I then plugged in the power cord and tried to start it up to see where it goes wrong.
But, it worked like a charm…
I tried about 30 times, ejecting the LD-tray and sent it back in, and it worked flawlessly every time.

Tried again this morning several times, and it still works…

Ok then, case closed, for now.. 🙂

I am still thinking of getting a new belt for it, just to prevent failure in the future.

This is a LaserDisc player model Pioneer CLD-D925.

I bought this one new somewhere in the mid 90´s.
It has not been used for quite some time now, and i suddenly got the urge to start it up. 🙂

It did not quite like to be awaken from the dead… 🙂
It refuses to open the bigger tray for the LaserDiscs, and instead displays the error code “U1” and opens the smaller CD-tray.
(Probably an old rubber belt that has gone bad over the years?)

So, needless to say, this is my next project. 🙂
