You have a point, but so do I. I have a Sony XAS777ES SACD player. This
thing
cost US$3500 when new, yet It has had this problem - also since new, that
makes it every now and again have the CD/SACD start to play, yet nothing
comes out of the audio outputs. I've had it "in the shop" 4 or 5 times for
this. Sony says there's nothing wrong with it. Well, since all I have to
do
is stop the disc and start it again from the beginning to get it to work,
I
live with it (because it SOUNDS so damn good). Other XAS777ES owners with
whom I have spoken re****t the same problem, but Sony refuses to
acknowledge
it. Recently I bought a new Sony High-Definition camcorder. I was,
frankly,
reluctant to buy another Sony device, but I couldn't get around the fact
that
this camcorder had the best specs and the best bang-for-the-buck. I
swallowed
my misgivings and bought it anyway. I've had it less than three months and
now it's starting to freeze-frame every now and again on playback. Sony
says
that the heads are dirty (???), so I invested in a head-cleaning tape.
I've
run it half a dozen times, and the thing still freezes momentarily during
playback. It has to go in to Sony repair, now. Also Sony made the damn
thing
so that not only can you not mute the built-in microphone, but it's so
non-directional, that all one can hear is the sound of the videographer's
breathing. Like I said, an 80% company.
