Is there something wrong with my Pioneer Elite cld-79?

Archived from groups: alt.video.laserdisc (More info?)

A year or so ago I was lucky enough to stumble across a large
collection of laserdiscs which I have enjoyed alot. I had been using a
denon la-2300 which is a pretty decent player but I had been wanting
something more. A few days ago I ran across the elite cld-79 for a nice
price and jumped on it. I tested the basic functions when I got it home
and everything seemed to work ok. Several days went by and I didnt have
time to mess with it until tonight. I wanted to do a side by side
comparo of my two players. I had them going directly to a 25" zenith
that is about 8 years old, but was nice in its day. After playing
several discs it caught my attention that alot more speckles were
present on the cld-79 than on the denon. I played about 5 different
movies and found my self being destracted because of the speckles alot
more often on the cld-79 than on the denon. I know the pioneer is a
better player so I am now wondering if there is a problem with it? Does
anyone have any opinions on this?

I was talking to a guy today about this and he told me there should be
a VDNR button on the player to reduce the "speckles", but when I looked
at my player I did not see this button, is it only on the remote?
Because I dont have it or the manual. Is there anyone here that has
this player and can shed some light on this? or where to get a manual
and remote?
