Does anyone that own this unit have similar issues? While the drawer is open, I select SACD and MULTI-CHANNEL. Then I press play and the Sony ignores the SACD layer and/or MULTI mix on quite a few discs. Please tell me how to solve this.
Some of the discs are Elton John Tumbleweed & Honky Cat and Kinks Live and Muswell.
Thanks, Audiohound

Would it not be better to close the drawer first, and then select play?
On the few occasions (3 or 4 times) a disk would not play I pushed play while the drawer was open.

  Thanks, actually I usually do close the drawer before playing. It is so frustrating since this machine otherwise works perfectly. I can't imagine that all the disc I'm playing are defective.

    If you search the forum archives you will see many posts describing the problem. Some users had to have the laser assembly of their player replaced (apparently all Sony SACD players use the same part) to solve the problem.

      Thanks, I've had more success with my player after reading historical posts, but I'm still experimenting. Everything from cleaning the discs, letting it warm up more, or playing a non-hybrid disc first. Gyeesh, had I know what I was getting into with this player....and pinpointing the problem has been so elusive because it does different things on different days....
