I have owned two of these units. Both failed the same way. It is a wonderful machine when it works well, but it doesn’t for long. For no reason The machine will produce two elongated, very grainy, side by side images on the screen and most of the feature (such as shuffle play) quit working. It still plays audio CDs one disc at a time.

Not that I am some kind of audio pirate, but this high end machine doesn’t play some of my low down copies and MP3’s. The copies by the way are from friends and licensed manufactered ArkivCDs (for you who know classical know what I am talking about). I found that it just wasn’t worth the money I paid. I donated mine to a church. Maybe god can find a better use for this player.

The previous reviewer complains that he cannot get multichannel sound through the optical or coaxial ouputs, but he doesn’t realize that there is no player that can do this because optical and coaxial are not spec’d for multichannel hi-rez audio.
I was a little worried when I bought this player about the negative reviews of the machine being slow to read discs or having mechanical problems. Mine operates very smoothly and fairly quickly as well. I haven’t had a single glitch. Sound quality is excellent, completely free of any harshness or coarseness.
Highly recommended.

This is a 5.1 Channel Super Audio CD Player and an ES grade machine to boot. I connected it to my Denon AVR-3805 Surround-Sound Receiver using a Coax cable, from the CD players digital coax OUT to the Coax-1 Input of the AVR-3805. Played a Hybrid Multi-channel SA-CD. No sound! Checked the headphone output – Sound is OK. Tried pushing the SA-CD/CD button on the front – got sound in CD mode only, no sound when the blue “Multi-Channel Decoding” light is lit. Strange! Whats going on here?
Start reading the manuals. Several hours later, I discover tiny small-print footnotes in the Sony C2000 manual at the end of the sections entitled “To connect through the DIGITAL (CD) OUT OPTICAL/COAXIAL connector”: (I quote from the manual) “Only the audio signals of conventional CDs can be output from the Digital (CD) Out Optical/Coaxial connector. Those of the Super Audio CD cannot be output through the Digital (CD) Out Optical/Coaxial connector.”
You have got to be kidding, I think! Unplug the digital coax cable. Connect it up using the analogue 5.1 OUT jacks on the CD player to the Denon’s analogue 5.1 IN jacks (Six cables!). Set the Denon to ANALOG and EXT. IN. Press play – Sound!
There is no wonder Sony has discontinued this thing. I wonder if the new $1,600.00 replacement ES model does SA-CD digital OUT?

I received two separate units (from [...]) that were both DEFECTIVE (wouldn’t read any CD– regular or SACD). Finally I have received the third unit, and it works normally. Sound quality and ease of use are outstanding. I’ve had it less than a week. Output for SACD CD’s must be done via analog RCA cables. Output for regular CD’s can be either digital (optical or coaxial), or analog RCA. Controls on the front are easy to master, as is the remote. The CD tray seems well designed and responsive. It’s nice to be able to reload the tray while a CD is being played. Having a big button to open the tray is convenient.
