Honestly thats not a very good player. Most players are pretty bad. The best ones to get are the CLD-D704, the CLD-99, and the CLD-97.

Okay, thanks. Is there any place that has information about the system? Also just wondering even though the person in the link says all players before the 90's should be replaced what about the CLD-1010. It was made in 1987 and has advanced circuitry to reduce picture noise and the ability to down-convert digital soundtracks to analog for output to analog sound systems and television sets; like the S1, it lacked a dedicated output for digital sound, although one can be added. In addition to the S1's already advanced-for-the-day electronics, the 1010 featured a new red-diode laser which had a significantly positive impact on playback quality. The red-diode laser has a narrower wavelength than is normal for LD players, allowing it to more accurately track data paths on the disc without causing crosstalk, a side effect of the wide wavelength laser used in most players. In addition, the red coloring of the laser made it easier for the system to read-over disc surface imperfections like scratches, fingerprints, dust or laser-rot, meaning that even somewhat damaged discs could be read accurately by the system; it is one of only two players manufactured by Pioneer to ever use a red-diode laser, the other being the much newer and more expensive HLD-X9 Muse LD player. Would that one be a good one to get?

Just wondering but what would be a good price on a Pioneer LD-W1 laserDisc player. I have recently found for sale. The seller is asking 350 dollars plus shipping, how is that ? Here is one of the video's showing it working.

Those are cool, but only for the novelty.
