Are Miles SACDs hybrids too?

This problem with Sony players has been discussed on Audio Asylum a few times:

Were they manufactured by Sony DADC? Or simply DADC?
Being Universal titles, I suppose they're probably made by SonoPress, though.

Does your player have any built-in laser calibration procedure? That would be worthwhile looking at first. If you're not sure, contact your nearest Sony agent and see if you can find out and, if the answer is yes, get the instructions for carrying it out. I found that helped with my player although, ultimately, I had to get a new laser assembly fitted and my XB940 has never misbehaved since. I suspect you might have to look at doing the same thing eventually.
