Yup - I've had an issue with a Sony DVD player that doubled as an SACD player.
They don't really have the discs in South Africa, so I ordered from Amazon. Put in it and at track 3, at a certain time the machine would lock up. It would not get past that time.
I thought it couldn't have been my machine as it was a month old! I emailed Amazon and told them their disc was broken and received a 2nd copy. I tried that received the exact same error at the exact same time. I knew it wasn't the disc.
I took the disc to the shop and we tried it on another 2 machines of the same model and it killed them too. Other machines worked fine though.
I then decided to try another store altogether and again, their Sony died at the same place. The guy was amazed!
Called, emailed, pleaded for help but to no avail. I sold the machine a month later :/
