Having been there and done that I found out the DVP-S9000 ES was designed before hybrid disks were around (per Sony). It was never designed to read them. I dumped mine for $515 + shipping on eBay and was thrilled to do so.
Playing dual layer SACD/CD disc on Sony DVP9000 ES
My Sony DVP 9000ES (unmodified) ceased playing the SACD layer on "hybrid" SACD/CD discs early on. Unit does play Redbook CD and single layer SACD "only" discs without problem. Toggling the remote or going into player set-up menus does not correct the problem - player always defaults to CD layer on hybrid discs. Am wondering if this may be a firmware/software issue? Has anyone experienced similar problems? Am also considering replacing the 9000ES with Arcam FMJ CD-33 for CD playback purposes versus performing upgrade mods (e.g. Modwright) on the Sony - any opinions?
