I have had my Philips SACD1000 for about a year and 1/2. It has been a great unit up to this point. It is built like a tank and sounds awesome with CDs and SACDs (It should for a unit that cost $1999 when it first came out).
I have started having issues while watching DVDs. Periodically it freezes in movies multiple times (not the once that most discs do with a 1/4 second) for 2-5 seconds and then either continues or skips ahead a few minutes. It originally only did this when I would fast forward or rewind through movies, now it does it all the time.
Sunday it completely froze up in a movie and when I started monkeying with it it the unit wouldn't even completely come back on (I could here it spinning up but it wouldn't fully power up). I disconnected the power cord in the back tapped it a few times (lightly) and it now works as before (with the movie skips). I am planning on taking it back to Tweeters to have them send it in. I forgot to send in the warranty card to Philips (they wanted it in 10 days Ooops!). I do have the original receipt.
Has Anyone else had this issue? I want them to fix this unit. I am not interested in any other Philips player as they appear to not have the same performance as this brute!
Thanks,
Mark
