Reliability/Repair Issues w/Sony 9000es DVD player

Every time I get ready to buy one of these used, it seems I read another thread by someone who's having trouble with theirs, or sending it off for repair. Does anyone have a grasp of how troublesome these actually are, &/or what are the usual problem areas? Also, is the warranty transferable, & how long is it (I've been told both 3, & 5, years)? And finally, where would someone in New England send a Sony product for repair? I'd spring for the extra $$ to get a new Sony DVP-NS999ES (with warranty), but I've read that the SACD performance is better with the 9000es, one of my main considerations. Thanks in advance for any info. or advice!

I have had problems with mine not reading SACDs, sometimes it will not read one and the next day it the same disc will play! Also it is finicky about playing some DVDs and I get the 0013 message (unplayable disc). I can not believe Sony and the problems with their products, I recently bought a Panasonic TV because so many people I know have trouble with their Sony TVs.

BTW The warranty is 5 years, I do not know if it is transferable.
