Page 1 of Pioneer DV 530 - Noisy disc mechanism

Anyone out there with a Pioneer DV-530??

I`ve recently got one. It`s fine except that the disc mechanism is bit
noisy during certain parts of the film. There is a clicking sound.

Is this normal for the Pioneer DV-530?

Thanks

I have a DV-535 (same apart from the colour and the optical output) and the only kind of noise I get is the whirr from the motor. Have you tried more than one disk? If not try a CD or something.

I have the Pioneer 530, the only noise I get is when I open it to put in a disk - and close it again.

No noise during play-back only the motor whirr

Try another disk, it might be that the disk is out of balance or faulty.

A couple of discs are fine.. (e.g. American Pie)

But for X-Men (region 1) and Matrix there is an annoying clicking sound during certain parts of the film. (And it`s usually the quiet part of the film) which spoils the dialogue.

It sounds like the disc is spinning too fast.

Other than that the player is good. The picture and sound is great for the price. I`m not sure whether I should return it or not?

Not connected to noisy disc, But I also have Pioneer DV-530 and cant work out why the sound level is a great deal lower when in digital playback . Friends with other models and makes have an output level or attenuator, is there any feature that i have missed that could cause this??? Oh sos it is connected to a Kenwood 7030D via digital coax only.

We have had a 530 for a couple of months now and the disc mechanism seems to have bedded in somewhat as its quieter now than when new. However it was never noisy enough to be any irritation when watching a film.

Different Machine and make- Toshiba SD-2109.

I get occassional noises but only really noticeable when at night (lower volumes).
