Burning in my Sony DVP-S9000ES -- best approach


Just bought a brand new Sony DVP-S9000ES at J&R (great new price -- $899), but will not be ready to move into my new apartment where it will live for a few weeks. Given comments from people on this board, I think I should take that time to burn this in. Question -- how do I do that? Do I simply plug it into the wall in a corner somewhere and have it play a cd on infinite repeat for days and days? Does it matter what cd? Does it need to be hooked to an amp or can it just run on its own? Does the same apply (separately) for SACD? Tips on how to take advantage of my several week window to properly break this puppy in would be much appreciated. Thanks

I haven't tried this method of determining the hours logged on the 9000es - it was passed on to me by a fellow Audiogon member.

1, tv and any digital receiver ON ready to view the 9000es
2. the 9000es is to be OFF via the remote not the front panel ac switch
3. find the 3 keys .. TITLE, CLEAR, POWER .. and press in rapid sequence.

the service screen will appear
select Emergency History -
remote press: 4

emergency history screen will appear.
read -
cd hours
and
dvd + sacd hours

exit emergency history -
remote press: return

exit service mode
remote press: pwr off
