My DVD player really heats up discs? ?

I just picked up a used DVP-S9000es and I have run into a concern that I wanted to ask about. Discs get very warm after extended playing. This is true with SACD/CD’s as well as DVDs however; DVD’s get down right hot by the end of a movie. I have open front and rear ventilation but a half inch on each side. Has anyone else experienced this with their Sony 9000 DVD players? Is this normal?
I never had this issue with my 5 year old Panasonic player.

Thanks

Jer:

An excessive heat problem similar to the one that you mention has been reported hundreds of times for the first and second generation SONY DVD players (circa 2000; like the DVP 360 & 560). Do a google search on "Sony C13:00 and heat" and read some of the experiences and different theories/solutions. I had some of the same issues with my DVP 560 and then they just stopped. I never heard of anything with the DVP S9000ES, though.

I have the same player and experience. For what it's worth, I shipped the player to Sony to address this issue and was told it was normal. I don't know if this is an honest assessment or a stonewall.

If you "Freeze" your player prior to use the discs will not warm up! Sorry I couldn't resist as there has been a big Freeze on everything thread reply as of lately ;0)~

So next to having Sub-Zero design your Home Theater room, your warmth issue is a Sony Dvd player normal occurance.

Now if it's melting your Dvd's then it's time to take repair action!

Good Luck

Try Movie Titles such as "Smila's Sense of Snow", or "Ice Age" see if they run cooler??? Oh I'm sorry there I go again......... Gotta get back to squeezing my 42" Plasma in a body bag, then in the Frigidaire ;0)~
