All you need to know to rip SACD's using Pioneer players BDP160 and BDP170. Other players could be similar. (only qualifying players, see post #1) I struggled a bit so hope this helps some others.
Start to finish instructions for PC users to extract the iso only. (Adapted from various posts, thanks to all concerned.)
1. Optional: Get latest version sacd extract file, sacd_extract.exe 0.3.8 here https://github.com/sacd-ripper/sacd-ripper/releases and replace the one in the folder with the latest one, see below.
1a. Optional:download the user manual, google for it. reset to factory settings and complete the first use wizard.
2. Optional: update the firmware. google for it. Instructions in manual and below.
Using the player's remote control:
Press the STANDBY/ON button to switch the unit on.
If the player starts to play a disc, press the STOP button and wait until the Pioneer logo is displayed on your TV.
Press the Home Menu button to display the HOME MENU.
Select Initial Setup and press the ENTER button.
Select Options and press the ENTER button.
Select System information and press the ENTER button.
Select Next Screen and press the ENTER button
The firmware version of your player will be displayed on the TV screen.
3. Must do. Turn 'disc auto play' off and 'Last Memory' (called resume on some players) off. In initial setup/options see manual.
You will find the only 2 needed folders here thanks to ted_b and Maldur:
4. AutoScript and sacd_extract, if these 2 folders are within other folders you must only use the folders named AutoScript and sacd_extract.
Place these 2 named folders directly where instructed below.

Unzip all downloaded folders.
5. Connect your pioneer player BDP160 LAN socket to your modem LAN socket. According to the player's manual.
Write down the IP address of your player. Find how to find it in the manual or find it in your modem's settings.
Check if you see your player is showing in Windows/Network/Media Devices of your PC (connected to the same LAN).
Disconnect from the player all USB devices.
6. Folder AutoScript contains the files to rip original SACD discs.
Copy only the (unzipped) AutoScript folder to the root of a USB stick formatted Fat32.
Safest to use an empty usb stick but you can leave your other files on your stick.
7. Folder sacd_extract contains the files to execute (start) the ripping. Files inside the folder are: sacd_extract.exe and a file sacd.cmd
You should put this folder on a drive or partition with enough space to create the .iso image.
Best to put it directly on the C drive then you are very unlikely to have problems with long filenames which originate from the iso.
The PC must be on the same network as the player
Edit the sacd.cmd file with Notepad or another editor to change the IP address which exists in the file to that IP address of your player you noted at step 5.
8. Restart the player with no discs in it.
9. Insert prepared USB stick into the player.
The tray will automatically open ie slide out.
10. Remove USB stick from your player or can leave it in to the end of ripping.
Put sacd disc in tray.
Press the close button.
Wait until the disc is recognized by the player. You will see SACD in the players window.
11. Inside the Folder sacd_extract on the Windows C drive (or wherever else you placed it) run/open the sacd.cmd file and the ripping process should start.
To rip another SACD make sure that the rip has finished, the CMD window on your computer will have auto closed when it is finished.
Eject the tray with previous disc and put in the next disc and repeat this step 11.
When finished First remove USB stick and turn off player and power ie reboot the player to return it to normal player use.
Ignore anything you may see in this thread to do with Telnet it is now an option not required.
Out of interest these are the commands that can used in the sacd.cmd file. Can be used to extracct DFF, DSF and DST but there are other methods given in this thread (must use the exact case as given, upper or lower.):
Usage: sacd_extract [options] [outfile]
