post #20281 of 25200
Hi Bill, thanks for your quick response. I shut the machine down and then put another disc in which it read and played ok and then I put in the first disc again and that played. Whether it was just a glitch but all now seems ok. I think I may have panicked a bit too soon!!

Very good! As long as it's not a persistent problem I'm sure you're ok.

Transient one-time errors are pretty common in BR.

It could be as simple as the disc wasn't seated properly in the tray. Don't worry about it unless it starts repeating.

Also note that an additional step to help clear out gremlins in the machine is to unplug it from the A/C for a minute or so. This is a good step to take anytime you do a factory reset. Do it when the machine is powered off and be sure there are no discs in the player.

Is there any truth to this?

I would think the HDMI audio would be of a higher quality...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

While that may generally be true, it's not universally true. My pre-HDMI Yamaha RX-V457 does apply its bass management, EQ, and distance delay settings to its 5.1 analog input. The only things that it does not apply to that input are its "soundfield" processing routines - which I don't like anyway.

I'm not on the latest FW, but Hugo 3D played fine for me.

Check the FAQ that's linked in the first post of this thread. Look for a topic on trouble playing BD trouble makers. Do you have the latest firmware? I think the fix for Hugo came before the latest firmware was available. Maybe the fix was in the December firmware.

I'm running the September firmware and had no trouble with a Netflix 2D Hugo rental burned to hard disk as a movie only .ISO file.

Oh darn it, the 3-way HDMI adapter I connected my players with must be to blame then...a thousand curses...back to the drawing board.

Most of the video is shot from the audience perspective. A couple of times during this concert movie it is shot from behind the band.

At the above mentioned time stamp we're behind one of the guitarists and beyond him is the crowd (lower portion of the screen) and the sky. There is a band say two inches deep across the top of the screen - video seems garbled or distorted.

Anybody able to check this? I've noticed it in a couple of other spots too; always the same scenario.

Tried this on the BD and TV in the bedroom and it's not an issue.

OK tried this at a range of different settings....

Multi/PAL/NTSC...no difference; and also different resolutions

1080p; 1080i, 720p AUTO and again no difference.

Netflix
Netflix lately (2 months?) has had an audio delay of about 3 seconds. I have watched the same movie (Bride Flight) months ago and was OK. I watch it again today and the audio is 3 seconds behind the video as well as all other foriegn films I have watched lately. I use AppleTV2 with latest updates. I have tried many settings but can't find the issue in my A100 or Apple TV2. Is there a thread somewhere that explains this phenomenon?

Sorry,
Wrong thread as I have the Oppoo 93 and Denon A100
post #20295 of 25200
My new BD-93 displays the YouTube logo and hangs when I select that application. Is that application not implemented yet?
post #20296 of 25200
I have had the same issue for the past five days. Oppo has stated there was a recent update by Google which is the cause of the problem. Oppo is working on a firmware update.

The player is not authorized to load YouTube LeanBack due to changes in the application protocol which occurred on April 9th. You will need to wait for a new firmware upgrade to fix this issue.

I appreciate your help. It's good to have this forum available to newcomers like me.

Hi guys I might be buying this player in a couple weeks. I have a few questions and there are about a billion pages to read through. So if you guys would be so kind here goes...

Can you get 5.1 with Netflix? I would like to get rid of my PS3 and selling it would help with the cost of this monster but that is a feature I enjoy even though Netflix doens't have much 5.1 material.

Does the player convert DVD frame rates to 24fps?

Whats the success rate with new discs? My PS3 has never turned down anything except 2 discs.

One of oppos advantages is supposed to be it's DVD upconversion, true? I have heard the 83 is better at it, true?

How do MKV files play?

Thanks guys.

No it does not. however I have a receiver that bitstreams it and I do own both the oppo 93 and the ps3. I hardly ever use the ps3 for netflix.

no it does not. the oppo 83 can do that.

post #20301 of 25200
Thank you so much. Right now I might be leaning towards the 83 simply because it's cheaper and it can convert the DVD frame rates. Looks like I won't be getting rid of the PS3. which converts DVDs better, 83 or 93? Thanks.

OPPO 93 needs grounding

see

Proper grounding improves sonic and video performance.

Unfortunately US version of OPPO93 dosen't have while EU version has.

see my blog for easy and simple DIY for grounding .

Actually, adding grounds can cause ground loops...And that annoying hum can sure ruin "sonic" performance!

I wouldn't add additional grounding to the 93, don't fix what's not broken.....

I have an Oppo 83 now as backup for my Oppo 93.

I tried setting the Oppo 93 remote to a different code and followed the instructions to sync the player and remote, but nothing happened: it still only responds to the default code 1.

I changed the Oppo 83 remote to code 3 and sync'd it to the Oppo 83 and it worked as it should.

Do I have a dud 93 remote or 93 unit, or could I be doing something wrong? I think I might have had something plugged into the Oppo 93 USB port whilst making the first change.

The remaining problem is telling the Oppo remotes apart.

You had the tray ejected when doing the sync? That's required.

If still no good, what if you manually change the code set in SETUP, then set the switch in the remote?

Thanks Dr. Lee. Will the grounding kit come with my linear power supply kit? I bought a used 93 for great price.

Also with 3 prong power cable, the cable can be upgraded from tiny 2 prong one.

Hi everybody !!

so here my things !

1) i have an oppo for a year now and i have no problems, i use it with the .dk chip hooked to an yamaha rx-v867 and (projo) epson 8350 and toshiba 47zv650U

i bought the oppo, yamaha and epson the same month.

2) i picked the oppo because i needed to read zone 2 dvd , and maybe blu-ray,
i had already a wd tv live plus for netflix and play our video ( from camera) from my server.

i still use the oppo only for dvd and blu-ray and i was thinking that maybe because of the extra third parties , it would be less expensive to do an oppo without this extra.

But where are going to no physical suport way so thats a no, but in the same time the oppo is not a mass market player sor they are not uptodate .( see netflix app)

So maybe , they can put the thirds parties in a device separate ( or make a deal with roku or WD or etc...) that plugs into the oppo so that way you have oppo firmware for dvd and BR independant.

Pascal,
There is another thread here where folks are discussing their wish list for a "next OPPO player":

You might want to add your suggestions to that thread.
