Hi Folks;

Before xmas my Pioneer BDP-450 started dropping out audio on CD's, SACD's would dropout audio (and even say STOP before continuing) but Bluray's would play with no issues. I've taken it back as thankfully it is still under warranty and they have said that they cannot find an issue with it (but are sending it to their engineers anyway). I have checked the disks that were dropping out (on my trusty old Pioneer DVD-575a) and there is nothing wrong with them.

Has anybody else had issues with CD's and SACD's (but not Bluray's) on a Pioneer BDP-450?

Cheers :)
 
These devices have co-mounted lasers to deal with the different wavelengths required to deal with the different disk technologies of Bluray and CD.

When one disc type plays OK but another does not, it almost always going to be the laser that is the problem.
 
Cheers for that. I just hope they sort it quickly as being without a decent disc spinner is annoying!
