How many people here have had a Sony DVP-S9000 ES DVD/SACD player? Or known someone who has owned one? Is this player a under rated work horse or a over rated lemon?
I have owned my Sony DVP-S9000 ES for a little over 2 years now. I got a deal on it from Goodguys for $700. And a extended warrenty for about $130 for 10 years of protection. After 1 year the layer changes where getting lagging from 3-5 seconds. So I took it in for service and it ended up having the laser assembly replaced. Now a little over 1 year later it was in again for layer changes starting to lag and the draw stoped ejecting. Well the service was nice and promt as usuall and the got the player back to me in a week. I have never had problems with there service, just this frakin Sony, rofl. Has anyone had any exsperience with this model of Sony ES dvd player? Am wondering if it is a total peice of junk or if I am just having a run of bad luck with it. I am considering dumping this ES player in exchange for a Denon dvd/dvd-a/sacd player with a dvi out. Am not sure if the Sony can cut it as my primary dvd player. It has a nice cd section and the sacd section is solid. How ever the Denon uses the Sony chip in its SACD section so there is no difference in that department. The Sony has the Genisis chip and the Denon has the Faroudja chip if I am not mistaken. So I would think the Denon should be the supperior player. Would love to here from anyone here that has had exsperience with this model player.
