| how far do you sit from your speakers? I sit 10 - 12 feet away.A fluffy (as opposed to hard) blanket on the back wall works wonders.Also, a chair without a headrest is preferable. | |
| Accuphase SACD DP-85 problem "Table Of Contents" or TOC error. Sounds to me like the player doesn't recognize that the first disc has been removed, and it's trying to find the first track (of second disc) at the address of the first. The reason it works if you turn it off/on ... | |
| Refrigerator noise An apartment dweller most of my life, I gave up and unplugged the 'fridge during serious listening.Freeze a gallon water jug and place in main compartmentto keep things cool.Yes, occasionally I forget to re-plug (oops!). | |

| DTS-HD Master Audio / Dolby TrueHD / PCM 5.1 Please note that DTS-HD has a significantly higher bit-rate than Dolby True-HD.

| some hybrid SACD do not play? Kr4: I believe I owned the SCD-S9000ES stereo-only SACD/DVD player. I sent to Sony for a rumored firmware fix but no one there (was looked at by a Sony engineer not just a garden variety tech) could make it work with ALL SACDs. | |
