In Reply to: RE: Oppo BDP-105 Problems? posted by layman on December 10, 2013 at 12:58:13
I have done all the Oppo updates on a number of machines and none have deteriorated. I suggest there might be another culprit.

I have been talking about my problems with Oppo firmware since I installed the first one a few years ago and it seems like everytime I bring these issues up, you jump in with same comments, insinuating that the Oppo firmware is not problematic.
Do you work for the company or own stock in it? You seem mighty defensive when these issues are discussed (Oppo itself, if you contact them, freely admit that there have been many problems with previous firmware updates).
Just because you have never had a problem does not mean that many other Oppo users have not had problems with the firmware.
The Oppo user forums are full of users reporting problems with the firmware. You have been lucky but the OP, myself and hundreds of other Oppo users (judging by the forums) have not been so lucky.
I had no idea of your history prior to this post and, if I have responded to you before, I have no recollection of it.
However, if you have been having this problem consistently over a long span with multiple updates, it seems to me that the common component is your particular player.
So, I am not trying to deflect your complaint because the competence of the player is certainly their responsibility. What about having them repair it?
After so many issues with the Oppo, I think a refund might be the best option.

I think that says it all. Something in your sample (and perhaps others) is buggy and exacerbated by successive updates. By now, I would have sent it to Oppo for repair/replacement or tossed it since it seems unreasonable to expect any satisfaction by continuing to update it. There's nothing anyone here can do for it.
P.S.: I recalled one of your referenced threads but, frankly, I do not remember the names associated with most threads. Chalk it up to the sheer volume of threads or my age.
The first firmware upgrade caused the players "bugginess" and yes, you are right, its been downhill ever since.Is it not fair to conclude based on what people are reporting (regarding firmware) that some of these players are reacting badly to the updates?

I recently began having trouble with my BDP-83SE drive not opening. This didn't seem tied to any firmware update, but it's apparently a known problem with some of these units when there's not a disc in the tray. I contacted Oppo to see if I could buy a new drive for it. Instead, they offered to repair my long out of warranty player free of charge! All I had to pay was shipping to them - they even covered the return shipping. I got the player back today (it was only in their shop from Fri to Mon), and it seems to work fine. This is outstanding customer service from Oppo - I know where my next blue ray player is coming from.
It is hard to draw any statistical inferences from Internet postings but, even if you were unique, you deserve a resolution.
Those links to earlier threads pretty much make Kal's point.
Your problems are likely NOT the fault of firmware upgrades.
...and how would you know that?
The player worked fine before I applied firmware to it.
I date each and every one of my problems to a firmware upgrade. Numerous other users (including the OP have reported the same).
OK, well, another time, then…
