Any info appreciated. It looks like it might be an OEM version of the Hitachi VIP9500. Hitachi manufactured a player that sounds a lot like this one several (7-8) years ago. It was an industrial player with 232 control. I don't know whether it would play CLV, but it definitely did CAV. We used to have one around here, and actually had a driver for it at one time for use with our video overlay products. I would suggest that you contact Hitachi Sales Corporation for a service manual. The latest number that I could find for an Eastern Regional Office is (201) 935-8980 in Lyndhurst NJ. If you have no success, we used to have a manual on the machine, although it seems to be misplaced at the moment. Please email if you need more help.
