SACD Firmware issues?


Hello,
I have been wondering if anyone has had issues with their SACD players that seem to be "firmware" related. I've heard that there are numerous problems that can cause skipping and stoppage of play. I've also heard that SACD players are extra-sensitive to heat.
Anybody know more about this?

Cheers.

Guss2, do you know where can you get that problem fixed (I've had the same problem on a number of discs, almost as though the laser doesn't get the cue to stop reading)? It is a great way to clean out the system with pink noise, but it is a bit jarring to say the least!

Other than that, there were early problems with the SCD-1 and 777ES relating to the sled motor, but a good cleaning fixed that problem in many cases, including mine.
