CLD-99 reports "P0" - what does it mean? (1 Viewer)

[Philip Hamm]

I was watching a dumb action flick (Most Wanted - about as dumb as dumb action flicks get - but damn entertaining and aswesome DTS LD sound) the other night, when my CLD-99 botched up. At the side break it displayed "P0" and when I pressed POWER it took a century to stop (a known malady of this player). Any hints? Anyone seen this before? After waiting and turning it back on I flipped the disc manually and side B played fine.

Phil,

I got this error on a Pioneer player that was damaged in shipping. I never got a straight answer on what it meant- but the timing had to be reset on the player that i got damaged.

"Pissed 0ff"?

In all seriousness, I don't know.

Kurtis Bahr, laserdisc hardware expert on usenet, says this:

P0 is a spindle error trying to Play. If you've had this for awhile then the bearing may have worn on the motor and you need to have it replaced.

It does seem some people had it for an extended period (intermittently) without further ill effect.
