Unfortunately every variation of the mod did end with the same result. Does anybody have an idea why it does not work with this peticular disc?

You should find out what the people who made the mod board have to say about this.

Even turning the player off and on the same image is on the screen. When I first got the unit HDMI 1 was not working and I called Tech support and he had me use HDMI2 to setup and download lastest firmware and finally HDMI1 started working. Turned off the unit and restarted...no HDMI1, another call to tech support. Back to HDMI2 and saw that Deep color was selected and if it is selected you get a black screen. Changed that back to dither and HDMI1 is back.
But I think that the handshake problem has more to do with the Mits set than the player, the 2 don't like each other. Very disappointed. Am in search of another Blu-ray player.

Keep in mind that I'm using (private) beta firmware, so I'm usually running different firmware than most users, but I haven't had any handshaking issues with 2 different Mits DLP RPTV's (WD-65835 and recently upgraded to the WD-82838) during the time I've been beta testing the BDP-93 and now the BDP-95. I have HDMI1 connected directly to an input on the TV and HDMI2 going to my Denon AVP-A1HDCI. As part of my testing procedure, I end up using both outputs from the player and don't recall any handshaking issues at all so far. I've got the player set to output 1080p, 24Hz is set to off, and deep color is off.

Do/did you have the player connected directly to the TV or do you have an AVR between them? If so, what model of AVR?

My suggestion is that if the features of the OPPO were what you were looking for, you should consider giving another sample of the player a try. If you still have problems, post your exact settings here and or contact OPPO support for assistance.

The Oppo93 seems gritty/grainy (not painfully so but definitely noticeable after using a 5000es). Are there any suggestions on keeping a sharp picture but getting rid of the gritty/grainy output on the Oppo? I imagine if I had a smaller TV it wouldn't seem so bad but I'll bet there are people with larger TVs than mine who have experienced the grainy nature of the Oppo.

What model Mitsubishi TV are you using? Unless it's their very first DLP RPTV, I don't recall any of their sets having HDMI inputs and having a native resolution of 1080i. As I wrote above, I was using a 65" Mits DLP and now an 82" Mits DLP and the picture definitely isn't gritty or grainy. The picture quality is excellent.

I don't know how many people are impacted but on the Bluraychip.dk website there is a notification concerning a mistake with shipment notices.

Quote:
Note: Some orders have been marked as "shipped" on April 1st, due to a technical error. All orders have been shipped out, but delayed with up to 16 days.

From that message it appears they didn't track down all the errors until April 17th. I'd recommend contacting them if you received a shipment notice on April 1st and they haven't contacted you.

Oppo 93
Integra DTC 9.8 (have never updated firmware on this, although I don't know if there is an update)
Panasonic AE 1000 projector

You really need to upgrade the firmware on your Integra DTC-9.8 if you are using anything other than the 1.08 Firmware. I had a lot of bad handshaking issues (with the OPPO and other players) with previous firmware releases on the Integra.

Please check the following thread for more information related to checking and installing the firmware on your Integra DTC-9.8.

You may also want to try changing your HDMI cables, as random HDMI dropouts can be caused due to bad cables or connections.

You didn't offend anyone, and if you are contacted by a moderator you'll know it. This thread has over 9,800 posts in a fairly short time (5 months). There is a large variety of off topic posts contributing toward making the thread hard to navigate for new readers and for those searching for specific technical topics.

I learned about the special test firmware by reading this thread. After experiencing the handshake issue, I contacted Oppo. Oppo CS provided me with a link to the test firmware. This FW update fixed my handshake issue. I'm sure Oppo will include this fix with the next release of the FW.

There are times when some users will experience a problem. Oppo has always been helpful by providing test FW to the user to seee if it will fix the issue.

I previously posted issues with my Oppo I received on Saturday. I emailed Oppo Sunday afternoon and wasn't expecting a reply until today. However, to my amazement Oppo emailed me last night a patch to load. Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to apply the patch. Hopefully, I'll be able to do this tonight.

Kudos to Oppo for getting the patch sent on Easter Sunday night.

Hi guys, long time reader first time poster.

Looking at the BDP-93. I'm pretty sure I'll buy one, it'll be my first Blu-ray player! Quick questions.

1) I read you can stream video from your pc, is there a file size limit? and

2) Where is the best place to buy? As in, online.

Peace

Hello,

I make a lot of DVDs of TV shows and I don't have chapters except between episodes. I use FF and rewind a lot instead of next chapter. I like that the Oppo has 5x ff as my other br player only has 3x. The issue is on every player I've ever used you keep pressing and eventually it maxes out. On the Oppo if you press too many times it starts all over again at 1x. Is there any setting I can change so it maxes out and then stays at 5x instead of cycling around to 1x, 2x...again?

I wasn't offended and certainly didn't see a need to start reporting posts and asking the (unpaid) moderators to get involved. I was just trying to prevent us from having a couple of pages of off-topic banter where it really isn't needed. As htwaits said, this is a LARGE thread and it's tough enough for people to navigate the thread with all of the on topic discussion. Adding OT discussion just makes it that much more difficult.

(1) Would be determined by the DLNA server, but I have not heard of any enforcing size limits.

(2) Most people here by directly from OPPO. You can get free shipping from Amazon, but OPPO may get it out the door faster.

Good to hear you got excellent service from Oppo but other than that I wouldn't read too much into it. This region in China is predominantly Buddhist/Taoist and about 12 hours ahead of the USA depending on where you live.

What model Mitsubishi TV are you using? Unless it's their very first DLP RPTV, I don't recall any of their sets having HDMI inputs and having a native resolution of 1080i. As I wrote above, I was using a 65" Mits DLP and now an 82" Mits DLP and the picture definitely isn't gritty or grainy. The picture quality is excellent.

I have the Pioneer Elite VSX-30 1.4. And I was going through that...from player to AV receiver then to TV, all HDMI. The 93 would go to black or freeze a screen shot. I would have to reboot the 93 or put into HDMI 2 to see a picture again. The last time it froze the screen and none of the solutions worked, even changing the DVD I still have the others screen shot.
Both the player and the TV have CES turned off. I did not try going direct to the TV because I didn't to loose the sound system, I guess I could have use HDMI 2 for sound but after talking to the same fellow at Tech support with not really solution other than download the latest firmware, which we did... I gave up.
I had no problems with my 2 other Blu-ray Sony players and this TV.
It was getting more complicated that it needed to be for me to have faith in this player. I packed it up and sent it back to Amazon disappointed.
Not sure what player I will buy since I will be selling my Sony ES BDP-S2000ES Blu-ray player, which has a gorgeous picture, but not 3D.
Having to call Oppo twice in the first 1/2 hour of setup was not a good sign to me, I could understand it had it been a cheapo Samsung but not the Oppo. It could have been the TV Mits 82828 but the 2 were not going to be happy with each other.

China? Am I missing something? Here is an excerpt from www.oppodigital.com:

Based in the heart of Silicon Valley, OPPO Digital designs and markets high quality digital electronics that deliver style, performance, innovation, and value to A/V enthusiasts and savvy consumers alike. The company's attention to core product performance and strong customer focus distinguishes it from traditional consumer-electronics brands.

We have spent most of all energy on product design and customer service. We pride ourselves on servicing all our customers right here in Mountain View, California.

So if they are in China does this mean THEY outsource to America? Are we the next India?

At any rate I received a potential fix to my problem within a few hours. Not many companies can say they have a response rate as quick as this.
