The oppo could see files on the computer but didnt see the usb attached drobo s. maybe it needs time to populate?? Just because the computer can see the files doesnt mean the oppo can even if it is attached to the computer. I'm gonna ask drobo. They will probably tell me I need to buy the drobo fs. I'll test it with a regular WD external drive and see if it can recognize it.

If you have something in the front USB port, check the little flap you pull open to reveal that port. It may be ticking against something.

I like everything hard connected no matter what it is which is why i was trying to find a nas type box that could connect via usb and have networking capabilities. Looks like Im gonna get sucked into dlna land. If it works well I guess that will be ok but am always nervous when things arent hard connected which tend to be unreliable. 100% uptime is what I like!

While DLNA can be flaky at times, if you have everything hard-wired and don't have to rely on wifi, it can be fairly stable. I've had very good experiences with Twonky, MediaMonkey and Foobar.

I'd like to make it stop making so much noise, but haven't come up with a good solution yet.

I'm toying with the idea of removing the fan entirely, gluing heatpipe pickups to the CPU and whatever else needs to be cooled, and running the pipes out the fan hole to a massive sink. Heat would definitely be conducted out of the chassis, but I'm worried that general air movement cools everything, compared to just cooling particular components. I'm also not sure what other components to cool other than the CPU.

Does anyone have thoughts on this? ("Don't do it." isn't a thought: that's just a reaction.)

Has this happened to anyone else? Possible cause and solution?
The mute is off, and I tried volume at fixed and variable.
I also Bypasssed the pre-amp(to rule out the pre).
Any help is appreciated
Thanks.
PS I have no digital processsing (other than the oppo) for sound.

The manual says high resolution audio formats cannot be transmitted through coaxial or optical cables. This surprised me as I was using an optical cable for sound with my old Panasonic and thought I was getting the high resolution audio formats.

I would appreciate hearing your feedback. Thanks

I have the 95, and the fan noise is 'mildly' annoying, especially since I listen to a lot of jazz (many songs have quieter passages) and can hear the fan noise. Usually it's between songs mostly. I 'had' the 95 in my equipment rack with 2" of clearance on the sides and about 3" on top. For grins, I've now moved the 95 to the top of my rack, so there is nothing to the sides or above it. The instances of the fan turning on now have decreased markedly! Just wanted to share my testing/experience with the fan noise. Best of luck.

I have the latest firmware installed.

The movies I have tried so far all seem to start up out of sync in the beginning. The movie studio intros always appear part-way into the intro as if the player started showing the audio/video after the disc already started playing. This has an adverse affect on one of my movies (Zulu). In Zulu, the opening credits and music are out of sync and the beginning with Richard Burton's voice reading the letter is also delayed.

Is anyone else experiencing this and if so is there a fix.

I have a Bose V20 home theater system. It is HDMI 1.2 and from what the Oppo manual says...I'm using only a Monster high bandwidth HDMI cable for both video and audio signals. The manual says high resolution audio formats cannot be transmitted through coaxial or optical cables. This surprised me as I was using an optical cable for sound with my old Panasonic and thought I was getting the high resolution audio formats.

Is this system designed to interface, using HDMI, with players from other manufacturers? Your problem may be a setup issue involving the V20.

Do you mean you have connected the OPPO to the V20 with your HDMI cable. Which OPPO HDMI port are you using?

True. It's an optical cable band width restriction.

You were getting improved (I think it's a higher sample rate.) standard (core) audio, not Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio.

Look for diagnostic help here or call OPPO. One thing you've gotten with your OPPO purchase is outstanding customer support.

Note: Once you get your sync problem sorted out, you'll also want to find out how to keep the V20 system from trying to process your video signal from the OPPO. Bose tends to think it's their way or the highway.

I assumed that you've been using a Blu-ray player, but when I down loaded the V20 manual there were instructions for a DVD player but no mention of Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio. There also was no mention, that I could find, of LPCM HDMI audio output. I was looking at the og_ls_vclass.pdf file from Bose for the Lifestyle V20 and V30 home theater systems. Maybe I missed them.

Enjoy.

Does your Bose receiver have a "lip sync" or audio delay setting?

You could continue to use your Bose speakers with the new receiver and consider upgrading those in the future as funds permit.

Since my movies all start up out of sync and I just got the unit I can return it for a replacement or a refund. So now I'm thinking I should switch while I can.

I am currently using a WD media player connected to the D2 and would like to get rid of ii and replace it with the 95. Which is the better option the NAS or USB drive or an esata drive seeing as the 95 is only usb 2.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
