963sa won't read discs with grungebuster 2 on disc

Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone can help me. I purchased a Herbie's grungebuster cd mat and my philips 963sa won;t read the disc with the mat on. I contacted Steve at Herbie's and he immediately sent me a grungebuster 2 to try out. This one works with redbook cd's and single layer SACDs but won't read hybrid multilayer discs with the mat. Has anyone had a similar experience? I know the mats are both great, since they play fine in my old Nakamichi Cd player and greatly improve the sound, but I'd love to use them on my 963sa. Can the laser on my 963sa be out of alignment or something? It seems it sometimes takes a while to read hybrid discs even without the grungebuster, but it always does after some hesitation? Is there a way to check the alignment or align it? Can it be I need a firmware upgrade? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chris
