Sony XA5400ES lack of bass when new?

I just recieved this player from American Theater & set it up.
I know it has to break in of course but the lack of bass is surprising. (Nothing below 100hz)
Is this normal for a new unit and approx.how many hours to hear an improvement.
Other than that it sounds pretty good.

My experience was that the bass increased in suppleness and tunefulness over a period of a few hundred hours. It got slightly deeper, but not so much. The bass became more integrated into the music and developed more propulsion in songs where the bass really drives it along.

I noticed the bass right away. It was more prominent than my modified Sony SCD-XA777ES. Still, hang in there - break in does vary from unit to unit.
