Pioneer Laser Jukebox
rob...@celander.dk
I have a Pioneer Laser Jukebox model: LJ-V20 / LC-V20 from 1988, it
uses the big CDs, and you if you connect a television you can see the
music videos, BUT I need some help!
It's the laser who doesn't work, so I need a replacement either the
laser (Pick-Up assembly - VWY 1005) or the Laser Disc Player (LDP
assembly - DXX 1170).
I don't know if you can help me, or know somebody who can?
Cheers

Hi! I have been talking to Pioneer Denmark's service office, and they
told me that 98% it's the laser that's "burn off", and in some cases
the disc motor, but the disc motor is running "tree time round" when
I'm turning to power on...Do you have any info to tell me about this!?
Cheers

OK, let's back up.
By "big CDs" you mean 12 inch Laser Discs I assume?
When you put in a LD, it spin? What do you mean by "tree time round"?
What are the actual symptoms? No picture or sound?
What type of discs are the music videos?

Hi!
Yes it's the big CD from 1988 laser discs, they have the siez of an
old vinyl singel, when I put the power cort on the laser motor turns
apx. 3 rounds and stops.
When I choose a song the arm get the laser CD, and puts it down on the
laser CD player, BUT it does not turn around - there for I have been
told from Pioneer Denmark that if I have clean til laser on both sides
of the lens it must be the laser thats "burn out".
So the problem are that the laser player will NO turn around and start
playing!
The songs are typical 80's music videos.
Do you have any other ideas...

OK: Big CD=LaserDisc (LD) to everyone else. :)
So, you turn on the power and the platform on which the LD sits turns
approximately 3 times and stops.

This could mean it's not able to focus and the laser *could* be bad.
But, have you cleaned the lens? (Cotton swab damp but not soaking with
pure alcohol)?

I have clean the lens with a littel drop of wather on a cotton swab,
no alcohol was used, Pioneer Denmark told me that.

That was going to be my next suggestion - to find a replacement
player. :) Keep the broken one - you may eventually find the problem
and then have a spare.
From the lack of response from anyone else here, I can only guess that
the model is not very common, else there would have been more specific
advice.
Good luck with it!

Hello,
I have the laserpickup or can sell you the player so you know its
working before you pull it, it works great.
Let know on here and I will give you my contact.
Bill Vermillion
Maybe not. I have a few 8" laser music videos. They were pressed
like CDs with priting on one side. They needed a spacer to play
on some LD players to clamp properly while newer players would
handle them.
