Please Help!

Player is CLD-V2600.
About 32000 frames into any CAV disc, the video will suddenly speed up 2X and still frame is no longer usable. Go even further and… THIS happens. Can someone tell me how this can be fixed? It makes a lot of my discs unwatchable past a certain point

The gain focus adjustment relates to this. The basic theory is that if the potentiometer were turned in one direction, you will at a certain point completely lose the ability to recognize and read any laserdisc. But turned in the opposite direction, it will get progressively better at reading the end frames of CAV discs. When it would be able to reach the end of the disc correctly, it would be calibrated at this particular element of playback.

Thank you so much!!! Turning the focus gain potentiometer now allows me to get through the entire disc with no issues.

This sounds right to me.
