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 don't know if the SCD-1 is the same as the XA-777ES, but I have the service manual for the XA and it indicates the following:

Put a single-layer SACD in, close the drawer, and turn it off. When you turn it on again, it should do some basic realignment. This will work (according to the XA manual) for CDs, single-layer non-hybrid SACDs, and dual-layer non-hybrid SACDs. It will not work for hybrid SACDs.

To set the alignment completely (and to align for hybrids), you need to get the machine into test mode using a combination of buttons, and use the AMS knob to crank the built-in alignment system to do a complete job.

As I said, this is according to the XA-777ES service manual, so it's possible the SCD-1 also does something similar.

Hi, Ths to everyone ;-)

> metralla
I've ordered a copy of the service manual of the SCD-1 ( check http://www.servicemanuals.net for it if u need one )
Cause I'm in europe, I'll receive it in 2wks ( it's long ;-/ )
A friend of mine have some kind of the same problems as me with a Sony 940. It told me that, effectively, there is a procedure - using several disc - to re-"calibrate" players

I don't know if I'll wait for my service manual ;-) Maybe I'll try his procedure with my SCD-1 ...
ths,
