Pioneer LD-S9 NTSC Reference Laserdisc player

Description

Pioneer LD-S9
reference quality Laserdisc Player
Works and performs perfectly
Here is your chance to own one of the best laserdisc players ever produced by Pioneer and its already in North America!
No hassle of ordering from
Japan and waiting months, no worrying about it arriving damaged from
Japan
I've changed the loading belt, grip pad and checked all the boards for any sign of wear, regreased the gears and rail.
The LD-S9 is the top-of-line Pioneer laserdisc player (apart from Hi-Vision models such as the HLD-X9), it shares the same NTSC circuitry and the same 3-D Comb filter as the HLD-X9 Hi-definition muse player, Manufactured up until 2002 and only sold in Japan and never exported officially.
It easily beats all models that ever were on sale in North America or Europe, including the Elite CLD-99, thanks mostly to the use of an advanced, second generation
High Resolution
3D Y-C separation filter.
This player only handles LDs (12" and 8"), not CDs nor DVDs, and the clamping mechanism is optimized for this duty, instead of being a compromise between all formats.
The
aluminum turntable
enables better pickup of the RF signal. You'll just be amazed at the quality of the picture, especially if upgrading from an older model. On CLV discs, it will display the frame number (from 0 to 29) and the field (1 or 2). If you have a large collection of Laserdiscs, this is the player you need to get the most out of them. Needless to say, it has all possible
outputs
(two sets of S, composite, stereo; AC-3 RF; coaxial and optical), can read LD Graphics and has "Theater mode" for a quick side turn.
Remote and all screen info in English.
