Are you talking about Denons Laserdisc player(s)?
More information please?
When you start off in the middle of a thought I'm not very good at figuring out what anyone is talking about. -
yes. The Denon's. I wondered if you put one thru it's paces.honestaquarian wrote: »Are you talking about Denons Laserdisc player(s)?

No,but I have seen them in action a LONG time ago.
I think Denon was one of the only companies who wasn't using a Pioneer transport for their players.
I don't remember if they ever made one that changed sides.
Solid piece of kit though. -
Thanks HA. So, they aren't elites.

No AC-3 RF out though.
This one predates that. -

Panasonics weren't bad either.
This one's a side changer and has an AC-3 RF out -
Honestly, I wouldn't buy anything (old) unless it was a Pioneer and had an AC-3 RF out.Yamaha RX-A2050 AVR (5.0.2); LG OLED77C2 4K TV(4) Polk Monitor 10B's w/SoniCaps, Mills, and RDO-194 tweets (R/L F/R)(2) Polk RC80i (Top Middle)Polk CS300 center channelAnalog: B&O TX2 Turntable, Nakamichi Cassette Deck 1Digital: Pioneer CLD-99 Elite LD, Panasonic DMP-UB900 UHD Blu-RayBedroom: Arylic Up2Stream AMPv3 driving Polk Monitor 4's w/peerless tweets

Seems crazy the price of some of these players. Some are beat up. Some are parts only and still seem to bring top dollar. I do enjoy checking the links you post HA.

@quickr1
Here is another example of what you're talking about.

Yeah. I bought mine years ago on here from mantis. I don't remember what I paid but it came with quite a few discs. It's an elite. If I remember correctly it's a cld-59.

Oh THIS is PRECIOUS

I had a CLD-704...with an AC-3 RF mod...and it worked great. I sold it when I bought my CLD-99: wish I had kept it (although I got decent $$ for it).Yamaha RX-A2050 AVR (5.0.2); LG OLED77C2 4K TV(4) Polk Monitor 10B's w/SoniCaps, Mills, and RDO-194 tweets (R/L F/R)(2) Polk RC80i (Top Middle)Polk CS300 center channelAnalog: B&O TX2 Turntable, Nakamichi Cassette Deck 1Digital: Pioneer CLD-99 Elite LD, Panasonic DMP-UB900 UHD Blu-RayBedroom: Arylic Up2Stream AMPv3 driving Polk Monitor 4's w/peerless tweets

I had a CLD-704 with AC-3 and a Yamaha demodulator. It worked awesome for what it was. I sold it and all my discs for around $300 about 7 years ago when we moved out West. It was fun putting in movies like Star Wars and watching them on my 106" screen. I did comparisons of Laser Disc, DVD and Blu-ray with versions of Saving Private Ryan. While Laser Disc looked Ok on a big screen it was no comparison to Blu-ray or even DVD for that matter. I'm guessing the screen size didn't help much there. I had it more for nostalgia of a by gone era in my audio/video journey. It was hard to let it go back then as I really enjoyed the years with it - but I had all my movies on DVD or Blu-ray by then so I couldn't justify it just taking up space. I loved that player though, and I think it was the best non-elite that Pioneer put out.Speakers

I've read several editorials and reviews even on eBay that said the same thing about that player being the best outside of the Elite lineup

I am TRYING to find that bloody review that I found on eBay quite by accident that talks about the 704 having the shaprpest picture outside of the Elite lineup.

Here's a link to a review of the CLD-704 that compares it to the 97. The review is at the bottom as jpg images from a magazine article.
