Hey! Im having an issue with the 3rd reduction gear on this model, it spins forward but the gear that tells it to spin back isnt engaging so its just trying to push forward a track that has no where to go and damaging itself. The loading function gears in the back are also not engaging since this started happening
That would be the first I've heard of that. So what you are saying is when it reaches the end of the disc, instead of stopping and reversing it just keeps going forward? There is Daxi code at the beginning of the disc that tells the player when it's supposed to end. If there is a problem with the players processor IC it might not be interpreting the daxi code correctly and that's why you are getting issues. It would be hard to narrow that down without the the use of an oscilloscope and testing the points on the player control IC. If you can find a local electronics repair shop this might be something they could do. I can give you a link to the service manual. That's about all I would be able to do remotely, and it's not worth the cost to ship it back and forth. I do offer a replacement IC if a repair shop does determine that is the issue.
@@ketonicdude yup its weird I hadn't run into it either. I ended up getting it going again after a few hours straight of messing around but it definitely threw me for a loop. Happy to say all is well now.
Very good to know, might help me to fix mine 😃
Its crazy that this, and my jcPenny units are quite actually clones of one another. I dont to I realized exactly how identical they are lol

RCA often made electronics products for JP Penny
I picked up a zenith vp2000 and some movie disc's at a yard sale. I have some questions if I could contact you
of course, email me at videodiscjunkie@gmail.com
