Description
The LD-700 brought us into the world of the Laser Diode pickup. This consumer grade player incorporated a new, and highly advertised, solid state laser ’tracker’. On the plus side, Pioneer didn’t abandon all the wonderful things about the old style pickup however. In fact, with some obvious size considerations, the pickup is very much the same. On the "big plus" side of the equation, the assembly also allowed for the inclusion of the first "tilt-servo" which allowed the pickup to pivot along the lens axis to accommodate for a full 5° conical warp of the disc. They also maintained the pivoting Tangential and Tracking mirrors which accounts for this pickup design to be excessively tolerant of the random DiscoVision disc. The speed and accuracy with which this pickup assembly can track discs with oddly shaped tracks has not been seen since the abandonment of this concept.
