What is error 11 in pioneer vcd player & how to rectify it

Most dvd players (or anything with a laser) will fail eventually. If the laser failed, there isn't much point trying to get it repaired.

the laser eye needs cleaning.....i actually just did mine today, just with a normal cleaning cd...if it doesnt work first time, smear a little nail polish remover on the cleaning disc, it works a treat........error 11 and 12 mean the laser cannot read disc properly......starts and stops depending on how much cleaning is required....

Error 11 is probably the laser...;)

I have the same problem now too. It shows up error 11, 12 or 17. I tried using a cleaning CD but did not work. I think the lens needs to be replaced.

From Pioneer;

"Error code 11 is more specific, however, indicating that the player’s read laser cannot focus properly, most likely due to a fault with the disc."

Try a different CD, or you may have to have the laser cleaned.




Best of Luck.

use your user guide to read the problem related to error 11 .. most probably your wire connecting your changer witht he head uint is either cut or not functionall ... hope that answers the question
