Dealer told me if it's not a good solid problem, they probably won't be able to fix it. Right, and I kept using it with increasing annoyance.At 3 years on the five year warranty and increasing problems with hybrid SACDs, I finally sent it back. The hybrids would give a 13 error, or if they played as SACDs would stop playing at any time, or they would only play as CDs. All very intermittent on all hybrid disks. The standard CDs and SACDs were ok. Sony replaced the laser mechanism.
Since getting it back I've only had one misread with a hybrid. I think this is a chronic problem with this player. My conscience would bother me now, if I tried to sell this player. It sounds pretty good, but much is lacking in the reliability.
Follow Ups:
It has been out for only several months, has it not? So I don't follow your statement "3 years on the five year warranty."Are there two Sony SACD players with the 2000 designation? Or was it out three years ago in Japan or Europe?
Sorry, I think the new player has dual reading mechanisms or something that has improved the disc read on Hybrid SACDs.
