Just go for the player from grey market for 12k or snapdeal etc.
Flash with Chinese custom firmware (available free). You will save lot of extra money.
Yes it plays without any issues.
Just connect the Pioneer thru Lan cable to your router.
You can then stream BD ISO etc. thru the router to Pioneer.
Thanks for replying, though it was 2months old post.
Last month finally in a nutshell took BDP-170 for around 12k
along with new HTiB Denon AVR-X510BT with sys5.1 
hyeah:. No regrets! So far awesome experience with blurays and HDD loads/opens/plays fast :licklips:.
And my word is Samsung BD H6500 is also worth to consider against this considering its price/features if BDP-450 seems more pricey (with bill).
Hi Guys,
What is the advantage of moving from 170 to 450? Is it only better build quality and extra HDMI? Or is there difference in video/Audio quality via HDMI/Coax?
170 is readily available everywhere but 450 is like a rare breed and has no wifi.
Does it make sense to go for the 450 anymore or is 170 a better choice?
Owners,
Is anyone using 450 for CD/Flac transport? Any chance you compared it with 170?
How is 450 doing with latest firmware for regular media playback and flac/CD transport?
Is the transport noisy during start up as mentioned elsewhere in different forums? Also is the player freezing randomly?
Basically is it a better buy right now for CD transport along with bluray viewing? HtStore has it in stock btw.

Pioneer has launched couple of new BD players all over the globe and they have got rave reviews does anybody know when it will be officially available in india. Pioneer (HK) Limited some details about DAC of BDP-LX58
Highly Precise D/A Conversion with ESS SABRE32 Ultra DAC (ES9011)
Direct Function for Pure Analog Audio Output
i found out that both players are available (imported from singapore) with the below Chennai based dealer but he is quoting some crazy prices.

For the British price the OPPO103D is cheaper !
What he has is not BDP but AVR probably. Did you enquire properly?
Pioneer released LX58 and LX88 both in BDP and AVR. The price for AVR is close to 1L starting.

he quoted 45k for LX58 he confirmed that it is a BDP.
Hi blasto, let me say what I experience with my bdp450.
1. Physical appearance and build quality - very good
2. Picture quality- very very good.the specification is that it has the same video processor like oppo. Has two hdmi out which can be used for direct TV connection and anther one for sound processing thru AVR. I preferred the video direct to TV as it beats my sony AVR's video processor in picture clarity.
3. Audio, yes, I use it as transport to rlink and to Yamaha as500 and the result is way ahead of my sony AVR which has the DAC at 96/24( no analouge output) I play mostly only aac files purchased from iTunes and MP3 @320kbps/256kbps some times CDs
So, for me, the pioneer bdp450 is a very very good BDP as well as a cd transport but only If you could live with the irritating time lag of its response to remote control.

Can anyone able to display album art while playing music file (from lan connection). Shed some light how to do it.
Hi there, I am new to this forum. I have been reading and following this thread.
Thanks to the advice, I have bought the BDP-450 and am very happy with it.
Some of you mention that there is a custom firmware for sale that makes it possible to play BDMV folders from the USB stick. I would love to install it. Any suggestion as to where I can buy it? Please PM, would be very much appreciated.

Hi
I tried the above. I reached till the point I get v4.04 on the sys info on my BDP 450, got the mac and serial no. Then tried to run MTKpio.exe but couldn't find any files in the extracted folder of MTKpio.exe. When I click on the exe file it goes to unzip but I can't find any files in the newly created folder.
7) Armed with the MAC address (to uniquely identify your player) as well as the serial number, you will need to fire up a software-based program called "MTKPio.exe" - now some AV programs or SmartScreen by Windows OS may prevent it from running - so you may want to disable the AV program screening feature for a minute to run this program. Once the program fires up, go to the last tab that says 'Unlock" and then input the MAC address and the serial number into the respective fields. Then hit on <Generate>. Next you will see 16 numbers populating the 4 x 4 cubic below. Jot it down on a piece of paper and then head over to the bluray player.
I use a macair. Can this be run only on Windows?
TIA
Hello.
