In Reply to: Any Inmate Have Info On a Pioneer CLD-D790 LD/CD player? posted by John C. - Aussie on December 18, 1999 at 15:18:17:

Hi John,

How's the rebirth of your Theta coming along ?

Back on topic....the 790 was one of Pie-in-your-ear's dressed up cheapo LD players.
Much cheaper build quality and cheap 'n nasty E-turn mechanism with rather awful digital picture processing. No coax out only an optical.

Picture quality on par with the 925, only so-so , neither are a patch on the 703/704 players.

Still as a first LD player it's adequate. Has features like two side play and digital field memory. But only if it's CHEAP !

I've got a copy of the Pie-in-your-ear 1997-1998 catalogue with the 90 series players if you need a scan.

Drop me an email.
