    CLD-99 vs. CLD-D703/4

    Greg, Great info. No, I was not aware of the setting changes as I have not fired up the X9 for some time. This will change with the completion of my AV family room. I do appreciate the guidance.

    Pioneer to cease making LD players

    Anybody need service manuals for the LD-S9 or HLD-X9?

    Rachael, How many orders for the X9 manual did you receive? Just bumping this up again. BTW, thanks for the San mateo step-down converter info. The 500W unit seem to be the way to go. Regards, Frank

    RPTV - CRT life expectancy

    Purchased my Pioneer RPTV back in January of 1987. I have gone through 2 power supplies and 1 deflection board. The set refuses to die although it is starting to show its age. Image quality is still very good. This has been based on not overdriving things and yearly calibration with Video...

Just select "menu" from the remote and scroll through the selections. This way you can hook up both S and composite connections, although I believe you will...

Staying with the same manufacturer may, and I say may, be advisable for consistency during playback (the way the tape wraps around the drum, etc.) but then again manufacturing tolerances could negate that argument. Purchasing a...
