How to make Sony DVP9000ES play Hybrid sacd layer

*It plays sacd "native" discs but not the sacd hybrid layer discs*

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:

Humm,

In this ad the seller says the DVPNS9000ES was not designed to play hybrid SACD. You might be out of luck....

My 999ES Sony does the same thing and its the laser. I also have mods by Modwright and the laser repair was recommended by Dan Wright

My Sony DVP S9000ES certainly plays hybrid SACD, so I suspect all are supposed to do so. I sent my unit to Sony Laredo when it quite playing SACDs, and it came back working perfectly and sounding better than it ever had. Sony service is a real bargain IMO.
