Official OPPO BDP-83 Owner's Thread [technical talk only] - Page 528

Great resource thanks..I found some other progs but this seems like it will do the job perfectly

And this has been answered.

I repeat the BDP-83 was always shutdown orderly via the power button on the front of the BDP-83 after setup changes were made.
Orderly shutdown= Explicit shutdown via the fron power button on the BDP-83.

It is now plugged into my APC H15 directly and keeping setup changes.

I realize that power outlets on the back of AVRs are not recommended for high current equipment but please this is transport not a dedicated 200W amp. Lol

Greetings,

Yes, latest beta release, the issue is not repeatable, and Predator 2 does work..


Regards,

OK - but NVRAM will generally not lose settings.

I still suggest not using the AVR's AC receptacles for anything.

Hello,

Thank you for the information. Hopefully, the 12 Rounds fix will also work with Notorious.

I used to have a receiver that got a little hot. I put a small 117VAC fan on the switched outputs and put it on top blowing up and out.

That worked pretty good.

I use it only for a small computer fan that sits on top of my Onkyo 805.

Airport Express...

Guys, you realize that you are powering a cheaply made, AC motor through your AVR's... right? If anything is going to kick noise back into your audio - an AC motor is right up at the top of the list. Even other components, including your -83 can cause problems. And, honestly - not worth the risk, no matter how minor.

Surge suppressing power strip, please. Or, an APC/Panamx/Furman power conditioner, if you have a few extra $'s to light on fire.

I agree for major equipment, but they are handy for back lighting, add-on equipment fans, etc.

We need one of these as well:

It's an expensive phone cable.......

vinnie77,

All of Oppo's previous players supported this format and many of the loyal Oppo customers bought the early Oppo players for this reason. This is just Oppo thinking about it customer base both old and new. While DVD-A recorded media is not selling like cd's there are quite a few in circulation both old and new.


Respectfully,
Willie

I read an earlier post stating that for analog audio, lip sync control is not yet available (but may be added later), and I noticed no such control noted in the owner's manual.
Does anyone know if this capability has been added yet? (A deal killer for me)
Thanks
Paul

Actually, ac motors are pretty quiet for both radiated and conducted emissions, especially brushless induction motors. Otherwise most turntables would have serious motor electrical noise. DC motors are another story, as are energy-efficient CFLs, very high electrical noise.

Is there any way to get lossless audio (music) into the BDP-83 via USB? I have a music library ripped to WMA lossless, but there are other lossless codecs and I could consider them.

My goal is to have a virtual music server with music ripped/downloaded at my PC played on my Home Theater. My pre/pro (Integra 9.8) does not support network streaming. I'm currently feeding my DirecTV HR20 from my networked PC using TVersity on the PC side. That does work. But, I've always been a little reluctant to rely on the HR20/DirecTV for this functionality. I'd be much more comfortable if I had a reliable and standards-based way to get a lossless music library in via the OPPO.

???

Thanks, Tim

Just watched 20 minutes of the movie street fighter BD and everything loaded fine.

I realize I'm late to this discussion, but you are correct, at least from my perspective (Mac pc user since 1986 - IBM-type pcs suck IMO)

and as far as the 83 is concerned, as long as the drive in question has been formatted FAT 32 on a IBM-type pc platform, downloading the firmware on a Mac and transferring it to the drive works perfectly fine for me.

No, not at the moment. Maybe never.

Notorious on non-beta firmware played fine for me.

That's good news!

Yes.

What other Blu-ray players offer lossless audio via USB?

Holy saints alive, I think the DVD-A is looking more attractive compared to that price (I'm not so enthused about owning a CD on 24kt gold...placebo comes to mind).

weird. Ah, well, what's important to some...

Frankly, why not just play CD/SACD/DVD-A/BD/DVD with lossless audio instead, and hookup a computer for FLAC/WMA lossless if that's what's really required? If you're running flac, and posting on AVS, you've got a comp somewhere at the house to manage the larger files.


Respectfully, this goes beyond expectation management - I was vocal, and continue to be, about mutliregion support, as this is a limitation of a feature we've come to expect from Oppo. It's also directly related to playback of core functionality (DVD). If there was no support for TrueHD, or DTS-HD MA, or 7.1 PCM, then, yeah, deal breaker.

I'd -love- Flac support, but I simply can't see how that's not a stretch, particularly given the fact that this is hardly news, being discussed for -months- now. No Oppo has ever done Flac, I can't think of any BD player that does either (save through UpnP and tversity transcoding).

Besides, it's not like you're adverse to having more than one player in your equipment rack (*cough* Laserdisc *cough*)

ps. In case you missed it, the players are available now in T.O. from local resellers...

I called in three weeks ago. I was told they were aware of it as the engineer had that blu-ray in his player before he left.

Guess it's an Oppo issue that they know about, so need to contact them. Hopefully, they'll eventually get it solved in a future firmware update.

Thanks for the reply.

Is there a page that has "recommended settings" for brightness, etc.?
