How to make Sony DVP9000ES play Hybrid sacd layer


My dvp9000es won't play the sacd layer on any hybrids it will play the disc in regular mode....but the sacd light out of the six lights won't come on....it comes on if i play a sacd only disc.
What is going on?

Sounds like your laser is going out. This is a common problem with these players
It plays sacd "native" discs but not the sacd hybrid layer discs so whats that got to do with the laser?

Mine is doing the same thing. Also, mine stopped playing most DVD's all the way thru, it "locks up" after a time.

I doubt, at the used price DVP9000ES's are going for, that it's worth getting it fixed.....I'm enjoying mine for playing sacd "native" discs for as long as it lasts.....
According to the Sony Support Site, fixed rate repair of a DVPNS9000ES is $126 plus tax. It might be worth it to you to repair the unit if you think it is broken. Here's a link to the site where I checked the repair price:
