Oppo volume/info/setup displays fine for 3D rental discs. I assume that the Oppo is just passing along what it thinks is a 2D frame (which an SBS frame basically is). The SBS frame is getting split and processed on my tv, so I understand why the Oppo menus are getting scrambled. Is there a way to force the Oppo into 3D mode so as to get the Oppo menus to display correctly, other than purchasing a BDP 103/105 which will natively process SBS content?

You are correct that the image is what it is leaving the player, its the TV scrambling things when it converts the image to 3D. There's no way to fix this, but if you turn off the 3D in your display you can see the SBS image with the OSD correctly displayed.

I am using analog outs and leave Secondary Audio on so I don't have to figure out why commentary tracks aren't working. cool.gif

That having been said, I can set HDMI to anything as I only use it for video.

Oppo 95 - doesn't recognize flac files/folders

Hi - This is my 1st post of any kind and I know just enough to be ............. You get the idea
The network folder opens to "my music" folder.. That folder just has mp3 files in it. I had my .flac files elsewhere. I then moved the .flac files into the "my music" folder.......... Still does not see them on the Oppo. How come? Thanks,

I haven't hooked up my 95 to my network yet, so I may be off on this, but bear with me.

I am, however, fairly proficient with computers and such. I wonder if you were to to delete reference to the "my music' folder, in the Oppo and prior to doing so rename the My Music folder something else ( temporarily ). Let the Oppo "see" that is no longer there. Then turn the Oppo off for a minute, while you rename the (renamed) My Music folder back to it's original name. Then turn the Oppo back on and point it to My Music. Perhaps the Oppo would then see all the files ( meaning the added FLACs ). I hope this machine will play FLACs, I have a ton of them.

Also, this may be a somewhat related deal; it involves FLACs not being "seen" at first, but off a USB drive...

The 95 can only see network files which are served by a DNLA server. Windows Media Player does not support FLAC natively. It does a number of other things poorly, so its best to install a dedicated DNLA server.

Djoel, don't know if you are still interested in hard drives. I picked up a Toshiba 1TB self powered hard drive from walmart for 89 bucks. It also had a free utility in it for mac to be able to read/write in NTFS format, which is a format needed for oppo if you have video files greater than 4 gb. I had a trial NTFS utility that I was going to have to pay 15 bucks for, so my effective price was 74 bucks. I can't find any negatives with it. Read/write is reasonably fast for a usb 2.0 older mac (much faster than large thumbdrives). Works fine in the 95 as well and is quite as a mouse.

The 103/105 have improved media file support capability.
The 103/105, can be used as a Digital Media Renderer from an appropriate DLNA server. This means you can use something external to the player to browse your DLNA content and then "push" files over your house network to the 103/105 for playback.
The 103/105 have HDMI INPUTS that can be used to play audio from other HDMI Sources through to their Analog (or Digital) outputs.
The 105 has a built-in Headphone amplifier and 1/4 inch jack.
The 105 has Optical/Coax and Asynchronous USB DAC INPUTS which can be used to play other sources through the player
Compared to the 95, the 105 has a brand new design for its power supply and for both the multi-channel and dedicated stereo Analog outputs. The 105 has no fan (and needs no fan).
The 103/105 have more powerful system processors and are thus noticeably faster.
I've probably forgotten to list some stuff. [....]

Yes, you forgot to mention that the BDP-95 can't decode Cinavia, while the BDP-105 can. That's the reason
I am holding on to my BDP-95. If it weren't for that, I would be a proud BDP-105 owner right now. I am waiting
for someone (probably, Slysoft) to come up with a cure.

Unless you're ripping BD, Cinavia is no issue at all. If you are, then you also know how to drop a movie into MKV or M2TS containers and bypass the Cinavia. Last but not least, only Sony releases use Cinavia encoding.

The OPPO Digital web site is now showing that they are Out of Stock of the BDP-95.

It's been a long, happy run, but it's time to make way for the new BDP-105.

OPPO points out that Crutchfield still has BDP-95 units in stock (for now), and that may very well be true for other resellers as well.

Also, it is still possible that "refurbished" 95s may pop up on the OPPO Digital web page from time to time. These tend to get snapped up almost immediately, so if you spot a "refurbished" offer on the OPPO Digital web site, and are interested, be prepared to move quickly.

I am running the Oppo BDP-95 though an Integra DHC 80.1 processor.

I am using 5.1 RCA analog connections. Aside from setting it up as multi-channel,

how do I ensure I am using/hearing the DAC's in the Oppo?

Are there additional settings I have to make ?

Thanks for all your help

^ You are using the DACs in the 95 whenever you are listening to its Analog outputs. So if you don't want the situation clouded the key is to set the AVR so that it does not re-digitize that Analog input for processing of any sort. Of course that means foregoing any value added audio processing in the AVR such as Room Correction. Advice on the specific settings to establish a "direct" analog signal path through the AVR will have to come from someone who uses that one. You should also ask in the Owner's thread for your AVR here.

I don't know about integra, but I'm not sure any of the AVRs anymore allow a direct analog path. I had a denon 1909 once that had ext in inputs which physically bypassed all the digital processing. I can only assume that if you used a normal input you were digitizing and going back through its dac even if any processing was turned off. You had to use the ext in inputs. My current 3311ci doesn't have ext in inputs so I suspect the same thing. I just don't know. Its been brought up in the Denon forum and no one knows for sure. If you want to assure a pure analog path you'd best have a integrated with old fashion analog tone controls.

I have an Aragon StageOne 5.1 pre/pro that is 10 years old. It allows a direct analog path for stereo inputs and 5.1 inputs. When I choose 'direct', the processor bypasses all digital processing.

^^ Direct mode is still around. My Onkyo TX-NR5008 has this option and I'm sure there must be quite a few others out there. I receive my new '95 next week and am hoping my ears are in for a treat, especially after any potential 'burn in' time smile.gif

So the 95 is now manufacturer discontinued, meaning that Oppo stopped manufacturing them? I hope they continue supporting the software.

I do hope so, as my 'New' '95 arrives tomorrow! The '83's last firmware release date was January 23, 2012, I believe, so we should be ok for a while yet........

Didn't currently ( meaning in the last 10-12 month ??) released a feature for the 83, I forgot exactly what it did but I received an email and telling a co-worker who owns one..I was pretty impress Oppo was still working on discontinued players.

If any of you are using a Oppo bd/ Pioneer Kuro plasma combo for best results according to members on here and ISF certified calibrators on other website/forums it's best to set the bd player to RGB 16-235 and the Kuro display to Color Space 3 in order to lock in RGB.

To assign the type of digital signal, follow the steps below.
1 ) Access the Option through the Setup.
2 ) Select HDMI Input from the Option menu.
3 ) Select Video from the submenu.
4 ) Select the type of digital video signal recommended for the attached device. Color 3


If you use other displays I would look into where the Color Space on the bd player and display should be for best PQ.

Congrats on the new 95. I really love mine. I'm right now listeing to a dvd audio disc. The 95 is such a good player for 2 channel audio I may relegate it to music only status. I use it to drive a headphone amp and use for my external 2.0 speakers. I may get a 103 for video, being disappointed with the 95 for dvd upconversion. With video I'm not as particular on the audio. I'm contemplating.

So the only way I can hear menu sounds on a BD is selecting yes for secondary audio. But in doing so the sound is mixed and you lose lossless audio?

Wtf? The Anthem read DTS even when DD or DD Tru HD is selected. Is there another way? PS3 plays both fine
