Pioneer DVL-909 skipping back problem

[bob]

I have a DVL -909 Laser disc player that has started skipping . It will play
for a while and then skip back to a few seconds before and replay over and
over again Once I forward past that area it may play for minutes until this
begins again.On a disc I tried yesterday it did this about 10 times on the
disc mostly near the start of play
I've tried several disc and cleaning the lens and its definitely the player
affects both sides of disc of Laser disc
I have the service manual but adjustments require special disc and remote
which I do not have
Would appreciate any thoughts
Thanks in Advance

If it is doing it on every LD then you have a dead spot in the motor that
moves the pickup. If only one LD then probably the LD quality or laser
tracking servo adjustment.

You could also look at the sled track. I've seen (on the DVL-919)
where the track is lost it's grease and the sled actually binds as it
moves down the track.

I believe he found a piece of debris (a bit of residual plastic)
in one of the gear teeth and removing that fixed it.

Duncan is very good, better trained than me. I do have additional questions
though.

1) Is the side you are having troubles with CAV or CLV recorded?
2) If you flip the disc over and then put it in the tray, does the same side
of the LD now play fine?

You could either have a servo misadjusted if the same side fails when
playing as side A and side B or the tabs that holds the pickup movement
gears in place may be broke and the gears have too much play if a side B
only failure.

Otherwise one of the best to have seen and diagnosed a specific problem it
would normally be Duncan.

Hi all, my DVL-700 has started doing this as well. Side 1 will play just fine but when it
flips to side 2 it plays for a little bit then skips back. It does this only for the first one or
two chapters then plays fine if I skip ahead a chapter or two. It looks like there is not
enough grease on the track but also sounds like the laser is having a hard time reading
the disk. Any further suggestions? Thanks.

The first thing I would check is the movement gears. The tabs tend to break
over time that hold them in position and the pickup will work fine for Side
A but for side B they tend to fall away from the track. You can order the
black piece that holds the movement motor and gears from Pioneer and replace
it or someone like Duncan or myself can fix this for you.

When mine did this recently It happened on either side and very regularly
like every 5 minutes
found the problem to be a grain of sand in the gears between the motor and
the gear that runs on the rack
from your description I'd check the rack for the side two for dust or any
obstruction
