My DVD player really heats up discs? ?


I just picked up a used DVP-S9000es and I have run into a concern that I wanted to ask about. Discs get very warm after extended playing. This is true with SACD/CD’s as well as DVDs however; DVD’s get down right hot by the end of a movie. I have open front and rear ventilation but a half inch on each side. Has anyone else experienced this with their Sony 9000 DVD players? Is this normal?
I never had this issue with my 5 year old Panasonic player.

Thanks

Well it does not sound like a ventilation issue but I have it on the next level above my amp and 2 inches above the amp and 2 inchs above the s9000es. It could be better ventilation but it could be a lot worse.
I am tempted to see how it operates with the case removed. I could just blow out any dust accumulation every couple of weeks.
I think I will try elevating the DVD player a little to give more airflow under the unit. Too much of a hassle taking off the case and blowing out the innards with compressed air all the time.

I do leave my computer case wide open and just take compressed air to the CPU, power supply and heatsinks every other week but I have easier access to the inside and the circuitry is pretty basic.

BTW: The 9000es sounds awesome. Movies look great once you adjust the myriad of video controls. Has been finicky on a couple of SACD hybrids, but eventually plays them.
