You can check with the Pioneer store online. Here is a link to the manual that I believe you are looking for:

Good luck!

Unplug pc, open cabinet and look for dust and debris , clean with compressed air.
If it's still dirty use 50/50 distilled water and alcohol with a swab. Allow 30 minutes before plugging back in.

Hi,
Pioneer CLD-V860 is an old model laser disc player and you need to have service manual copy to get error code details as we do not have related service manual copy.
Required service manual copy can be downloaded from HERE for small fee and service manual has all technical info about this unit, schematics, troubleshooting chart, part numbers etc.
Hope this info will help you.
Thanks.

It sounds like the read head assembly is not resetting back to the starting point so it can start off reading the "A" side of the next disc. Probably turning it off and then on resets it back to the start of the "A" side. You might try flipping the disc manually to the "B" side, let it go and then try another disc to see if it works.

One of the common causes is a small crack in the ribbon cable that connects the optics assembly to the PC board. This cable is moved all the time when the optics move and when the assembly turns over. This is not a repair I would recommend to a novice. The cable is still available last time I checked and is simple to replace for anyone that has worked on these before. The tray must be removed to do this and it is tricky to re-align properly. I think the cable runs between $20-$30.

Ooops, in my efforts to find laser disc INFO I ended up in a completely irrelevant category; because there no longer exists a Laser Disc category. So I shall abandon the laser disc player as technologically obsolete (there goes still another species of dinosaur off to the fossil beds) and give up on seeing those movies in color.

laserdisc would not play
