The Sony part # for the laser pick up unit is A-6062-397-A (KHM-220AAA). Sony site refers to part # 991099935, listed "part no longer available".
I have 1 hybrid SACD that is stereo only that my DVP-S9000ES will not play. The player gives a "C 13 00" message. That disc will play on my DVP-NS999ES players.
The stereo section of my other hybrid stereo only & stereo + multi-channel SACDs will play without hesitation or fault no my DVP-S9000ES.
I think that the disc that will not play on the DVP-S9000ES is at fault, despite the fact that it will play without problem on my DVP-NS999ES players.
I did buy a new optical pick up for the DVP-S9000ES in Feb 2012 "just in case". It has net been installed yet because only the 1 disc will not play in the DVP-S9000ES & I think it is the disc not the player. The DVP-S9000ES might have tighter tolerance specs than the DVP-NS999ES.
Here is a very good explanation of SACD disc design.
TA- N77ES, E77ES, E80ES, E9000ES
STR- GX10ES, DA4ES, DA5700ES
DVP- NS999ES
HAP-S1, MDS-JA20ES, ST-S730ES
RM- AX4000, AX1400
APM-55W, APM-33W
