In Reply to: Sony LD players posted by Lasermeister on April 27, 2002 at 07:08:34:
Thanks for the info. A friend bought the Sony MLD500 series back in the late 80s (early 90s?) and at the time he said it was viewed as one of the best machines on the market. That is why I was thinking of a Sony. Ok that plus the price. Come to think of it, I have not seen many Pioneer or Panasonic LD players come on the used market. I guess people are hanging on to them.
Follow Ups:
My first player was a Sony MDP-510, bought new in 1990. It was easily the worst player I have ever owned in terms of both performance and reliability. Even my Pioneer CLD-D701, which is a very poor player for a Pioneer and which I would never recommend to anyone, just whomps the crap out of the Sony in terms of performance and is still functional after nearly 10 years. The performance on my Sony deteriorated so far after just a few years that I gave it to my parents to use as a CD player. It then developed a drawer problem (a dreadfully common defect on both the MDP-510 and MDP-333 players) and was subsequently junked. It was a nice looking machine with a cool remote but was unfortunately a piece of junk.Todd
Fix it! Its not that hard. mine had the same problem, and its easily fixed by a new band from the motor to the gears, and a bit of lubricant.
CLD-97 and CLD-D406.
