Sony SCD-1 can't read Multichannels Hybrid SACDs


Hi everyone

I'm in trouble with my SCD-1, playing CD, single or hybrid Stereo SACD is Ok, but it can't "find" the Stereo program on the SACD layer of Multichannel hybrid SACD. When I try playing I've just " ERROR TOC* " on the screen.

do u think my player needs a "calibration" ? I know there's a calibration method to run for some Sony players ( using different kind of CDs & SACDs )

thanks for your help

I never had this problem on the SCD-1. I now have a Classe Omega, which is built on the same transport as the Sony, and it also has never had any problem with multichannel hybrids. Your player needs to go to an authorized service center or repairer.
Sounds like either one of the cd or sacd laser head units went south. Sony's only SACD repair center in the USA, is in Bristol, Pa.

If the un-pluging it does not re-set it? Then you may have to pack it up & ship it to Sony. Don't get discouraged as you will not get anyone on the phone who actually knows what a SCD-1 is, but once it gets into the right hands their service is grand.

Good Luck!
While the unit is unplugged, turn the device off and on several times. This should help to fully discharge the capacitors and do a more thorough "reset" of the device. Sean
