Pioneer Elite BDP-80FD Setup for SACD Ripping
---------------------------------------------

A. Under the Pioneer Elite BDP-80FD setup screen, disable auto-play and
   auto-resume functionality.

B. Under the BDP-80FD setup screen, use WPS to securely connect to WiFi.

C. Under the BDP-80FD setup screen, disable dynamic IP addresses.

D. Power off the BDP-80FD.

E. Disconnect all USB devices from the BDP-80FD.



Windows Environment Setup for SACD Ripping
------------------------------------------

F. Format a USB drive with a FAT32 file system. If the drive has a label, it
   should be no more than 8 characters.

G. Use the AutoScript folder from SACD-extract-BDP160.zip; copy the AutoScript
   folder from the zip archive to the root of the FAT32 formatted USB drive. The
   AutoScript folder from the zip archive contains three files (Autoscript;
   Autoscript.TSS; sacd_extract_160 -- two files have no file extensions). No
   other files or folders should be on the USB drive.

H. Create a local folder on root of the Windows PC. Use a very short folder
   name.

     NOTE: The short folder name helps to avoid SACD iso file naming issues;
     iso's are named based on embedded SACD artist and title metadata, which can
     be very long.

I. Use the "sacd_extract.exe" executable from sacd_extract_0.3.8_WIN32.zip;
   place the executable in the local folder created in step H.

     NOTE: The "sacd_extract.exe" executable can be placed anywhere in the
     system PATH, and executed without an absolute PATH. When placed in the
     system system PATH, the folder created in step H simply becomes a working
     folder on the root of the drive.

J. Under Settings>Network & Internet>Sharing Options, ensure that "Network
   Discovery" is enabled.

K. Open Network (Network Neighborhood) to ensure that the BDP-80FD is visible.



SACD Ripping
------------

1. Place the FAT32 USB drive in the front USB slot of the powered-off BDP-80FD.

2. Power on the BDP-80FD. The front tray should open.

3. Insert an SACD. The BDP-80FD display should show that a SACD has been
   inserted.

4. Open a command prompt on the Windows PC.

5. Change directory to the local folder created in step H.

6. Open Windows Network and right-click the BDP-80FD icon. Note the IP address
   of the player.

7. Execute the following command, using the IP address from step 6 without
   leading zeros.
       .\sacd_extract -i {BDP_IP_ADDRESS}:2002 -P -I
       e.g.: .\sacd_extract -i 192.342.1.217:2002 -P -I

     NOTE: Do not use the absolute path to the command if the "sacd_extract.exe"
     has been installed under the system path.

8. An SACD iso image with a name based on the SACD artist and title metadata
   will be created in the local folder created in step H.

     NOTE: Some SACDs do not have any artist/title metadata included, mostly due
     to a production oversight (e.g., Dacapo Kronos Holmgreen). In this case,
     "sacd_extract.exe" uses "Unknown Artist". Any string after the -I can be
     used to set the output SACD iso image name, but the string should be
     surrounded by double-quotes if the string contains spaces.

9. Use a batch script and "sacd_extract.exe" to convert the created SACD iso
   image to Sony DSF files. "sacd_extract.exe" will leave DSF files in folders
   named based on the SACD artist/title metadata. "sacd_extract.exe" uses the
   same folder for stereo and multi-channel output, and does not use the SACD
   metadata for "Sequence Number" or "Set Size" when processing multi-disc sets.


     NOTE: The approach I use is to rip a batch of SACDs to iso, then run
    "sacd_extract.exe" from a batch script to convert everything to 2ch dsf
    files. I then use the same script to go back and query all iso's to
    see which have mch audio, and then those with mch audio get processed again
    to create mch dsf files. Since dsf files are created in the same folder
    based on the SACD metadata, I prefix stereo files and multi-channel files
    with a descriptive token so that they have unique names. When processing
    multi-disc sets, I use a disc number prefix token to keep files organized.
    In general, because "sacd_extract.exe" uses a processing folder based on
    SACD metadata, I create a temporary folder where "sacd_extract.exe" does
    its work, and then I can process the created folder for each SACD without
    actually knowing the folder name beforehand.

The Autoscript folder contains three files (two files have no file extensions).
Use the files specific to Pioneer BDPs, which are contained in archive
SACD-extract-BDP160.zip.

    Autoscript
    Autoscript.TSS
    sacd_extract_160


Use the most current version of sacd_extract.exe. (Note: In 03/2017, the current
version was 0.3.8_WIN32.)
