Issue Multichannel SACD with 2 Channel Player

Collection is mostly RB but have about 15 hybrid multichannel SACDs. of those 2 do not play properly on either of 2 Sony DVPs9000ES 2 channel only machines. One is just back from Sony for an optical reader repair and fresh testd in spec and the other three years newer and right out of the box. Never had bad CD's before ... Is this common with these players? the software? ideas?

What do you mean "2 channel only machines?" AFAIK, these are MCH machines. If you have them set up for 2 channel and these particular SACDs lack a stereo DSD track, they may not be able to do anything since there's no downsampling permitted.

Right you are. I was unaware of this unit and mistook it for a more modern one.

Nonetheless, is it possible that the OP's problem discs lack a stereo DSD program track (even though he says they are all hybrid)? Do we know which ones these are?
