Most likely. When the laser to laser goes bad in SACD players the usual symptom is it can't read the SACD layer on discs that play fine in other players. Although in theory the laser is replaceable.

Used the extract_160 files from post #48 and now I'm successfully ripping. This is awesome, thanks to all!

I'm having problems ripping with a Pioneer BDP-80 and looking for some pointers. I assigned the player a static IP address and disabled autorun. It is pingable. Copied AutoScript directory to a clean 8 GB USB stick. Player drawer ejects after drive is read. SACD recognized. Edited sacd.cmd file with static IP. When I run sacd.cmd I quickly (like 1 second) get a message sacd_extract.exe stopped working. No message at the command prompt. This is much faster than if e.g. I run sacd.cmd with a random (nonexistent) IP. I can't telnet to the player, but that doesn't seem unusual. Any help or ideas for debugging would be greatly appreciated. I just got the player from Amazon, so I can send it back if I quickly determine it isn't going to work for ripping. Thanks, James
