Fixing Pioneer BDP-450 Blu-ray player with disc read error and sticking tray.

My pioneer BDP-450 Blu-ray player had been messing about for quite a while with a sticking cd tray and intermittent disc read errors and then one day just wouldn’t load any discs. I decided to have a go at fixing it with no experience, learning as I went, with a view that if I fixed it, it was a bonus as it was broken anyway! I made a few errors along the way but kept them in the edit so that you can learn from my mistakes.

i have the same player not reading three SACDs ok on most like vocalion 4 channel SACDs plays blu ray and CD and DVDs thanks for the vidio. a very good player it also plays the DVD Audio only discs

[@charleslancefield]

Thanks for the comment! Yea, it’s a great player and I bought it for the SACD and DVD-A compatibility too! Not many new players can do both which is why I wanted to have a go at fixing it! I hope you can get yours sorted ok mate 👍🏻

Hello friend,I have that player, although it is very slow to start reading, it reads many formats, my problem is that it does not read DVDs and CDs, it only reads Blueray, I don't know what the problem is, I assume it is the pick-up, there will be another solution ?
