My Sony 9000ES seems to have developed a problem that you folks may be able to diagnose. It's approximately 8 months old and I use it primarily for music but occaisionally DVDs. It worked perfectly until 2 months ago when blue and white speckles started appearing in some DVDs. Searching various internet forums, I believe this phenomenon is called "snow" but I'm not sure. The speckles seem to be most pronounced for the first 20-30 minutes of a movie and then discontinue. There is no problem with the sound or sound from analog outputs for CDs or SACDs. DVDs which used to work fine now have the speckles. Sometimes I'll switch disks and the second disk will have speckles and sometimes not. FYI, I'm using progressive output through menu selection. Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
