My DVD player really heats up discs? ?

I just picked up a used DVP-S9000es and I have run into a concern that I wanted to ask about. Discs get very warm after extended playing. This is true with SACD/CD’s as well as DVDs however; DVD’s get down right hot by the end of a movie. I have open front and rear ventilation but a half inch on each side. Has anyone else experienced this with their Sony 9000 DVD players? Is this normal?
I never had this issue with my 5 year old Panasonic player.

Thanks

If it's a ventilation issue you can temporarily place the player outside its current location and see if the heating degree is less.
Half an inch is not that much in my opinion. What's above and below the player in the rack?

No cover will allow too much dust in unsuspected and difficult to reach places; I'd run a trial but doubt will be leaving permanently this way.
Might the closeness to the amp increase the temp at the players location? Maybe the player does work warmer than your previous Panasonic. What about leaving a movie playing completely with the amp off to see if this has a bearing to it?
What do you think?
