Transport loud with SACD?


I have a sony 9000es andonly the sampler SACD . When I play the SACD i can hear the transport spinning, byt on cd and DVD's I hear nothing. Is this something broken with the disk or is there something wrong with the playe? Has anyone else noticed this. Thanks

I have a new SONY DVP-NS755V multichannel DVD/SACD player that makes a high frequency noise (it sounds like the motor is spinning much faster) when I play a SACD. The unit is acceptably quiet for regular CD's and DVD's. I would not recommend this unit to anyone interested in listening to SACD's....the noise is so irritating that any benefit from higher fidelity is drowned out by the noise!
Hifijunky, I went back to where I bought the unit to listen to the floor model. It made even more noise, but I was referring to strictly SACD, not the hybrid versions. I will try a hybrid when I buy one. I agree it's not a bad unit for DVD and redbook CD, and as you point out, hybrid SACD, but not non-hybrid SACD.
