Hello All

I recently purchased a Pioneer Elite BDP-05FD Blu Ray Player from Craigslist. During testing, I noted the following:

- The player will not recognize CD-DA disks (either the player indicates “no disc” or “cannot read”;
- The player will play the stereo portion from an SACD;
- DVD and BD functionality (audio and video) is no concern.

Am I correct in thinking that the CD laser is the root cause for CD-DA not to register? Outside of a firmware update, I cannot think of other potentials.

Thank you for your input. I am trying to write as concise as possible. If more information is needed, I can gladly provide.
Joseph.

Many players will not play a SACD disc. All Sony players will and maybe Oppo (I'm not sure on that one).
There is no reason why your player shouldn't play CD-DA discs. I think you might have bought a defective player.
