The Pioneer Elite DV-09 is a wonderful player that does NOT require that CDs be placed upside down. I sold mine years ago and regretted it quite a bit. However, even a player of this quality can have a laser wear out. I'm facing a similar dilemma with my Sony SCD-777. The CD laser is out and only the SACD laser works. Fortunately, I have an Oppo and a Pioneer Elite BDP09 to handle my CDs until the Sony is fixed. My best advice would be to get a repair quote, and if you find it exceeds $500 then buy an Oppo. You won't regret it!
Pioneer DV-09 plays DVD's not CD's help
I Purchased a used Pioneer DV-09 via ebay that stated "tested with dvd and cd, plays both cd and dvd"
Not the case.
It is a thing of hefty copper beauty, i love it.... but....
This unit plays dvd's perfectly fine, but as i'm sure yo can imagine, it was not purchased for it's dvd playing capability. This was to be my CD transport.
I am working with the seller, and can probably return for refund at the cost of shipping unfortunately.
What I would rather do is find a solution. I have searched to the end of the internet I feel on this issue.
Does anyone have any input? I cannot even find a replacement laser for this model (assuming that is the issue).
I appreciate any input.
Maybe cut my losses and give up my block-o-copper dreams.
