Good point, I don't care for the Oppo remote as the buttons are hard to push... Prefer using my Logitech.

I did have my unit ISF calibrated. Maybe he set something that doesn't agree with Color 3...just guessing since I stopped watching the tech.

If you lock a color space on the Kuro, you should match it in your player by selecting the same color space in the Oppo. If that doesn't make any difference, just set both to auto or to whatever it was set to when calibrated.

If a calibration was done using a certain color space, changing the color space will give you a different result.

Tried it already...went back to 4:4:4. Great results.

Anybody else noticing that with current firmware the 93 will sometimes jump a few frames during a blu ray movie?

Which BD did you see this happen?

Different movies, I've isolated it to the player and I had my 93 exchanged for another 93- they all seemingly do this.

It's very easy to miss, most will never notice it.

I have to give props to Oppo's customer service, especially during this busy Holiday season. I sent my 93 in last Saturday because the wireless connection would not stay connected and I had to re-establish the connection each time I turned it back on. They received it today at 4:00PM EST, repaired it, and have sent it back to me at 8:00PM EST. It is estimated to arrive by next Friday. I know I still have to give it the "once over" when I finally get it back, but wanted to say how awesome their customer service is (so far!)

If you can give me the exact time in a BD I'd like to test it with my 95.

No it's not repeatable in each movie, it's a rolling glitch affecting playback.
Every other movie or so, a frame will skip, sometimes you'll miss it- but the player is the culprit.
I exchanged my first 93 for another 93 thinking it was just one player, it's obviously a platform wide glitch.

Very hard to notice.
Probably a bug caused by last firmware, or it's always been there and I just now noticed it.

What exactly does the "3D TV size" video setting do? I understand it's supposed to reduce 3D artifacts, but how is this related to the screen size?

It effects the Parallax, by sacrificing some of the horizontal resolution of the image according to the inputted screen size setting resulting in a optimal 3D image. Usually the 3D movies you are viewing have been shot with specific audience angles of viewing and screen size in mind. This is a modest way to compensate for the screen size differences.

If you have a EU model check Oppo UK site for the appropriate FW update.

A small bug discovered in the OPPO BDP-93/95

The OPPO BDP-93/95 when set to source direct was designed to upscale 480i DVD-Audio discs to 1080i resolution and also the OPPO menu screen for SACD’s is also outputted at 1080i resolution. This information can be found on page 23 of the instruction manual.

When a SACD or DVD-Audio disc is ejected and a native 1080p/24 Blu-ray disc is inserted the OPPO BDP-93/95 switches from 1080i to 1080P like it is suppose too.
When on source direct the OPPO BDP-93/95 plays native VUDU HDX programs at 1080P and all other SD and HD streaming content is upscaled to 1080P at 60Hz.

The problem

If one inserts a Super Audio CD or DVD-Audio disc with source direct on, the OPPO outputs 1080i, however when the disc is ejected and a streaming service like VUDU HDX is launched then the OPPO plays the 1080P VUDU movie at 1080i quality instead of 1080P quality. The work around to the problem is to either power cycle the Blu-ray player before launching streaming service like VUDU or insert a Blu-ray disc before launching the streaming service so the OPPO BDP-93/95 can be reset to 1080P mode.

With a future firmware update OPPO Digital INC should be able to write code to make the OPPO BDP-93/95 automatically switch to 1080P resolution when the streaming application is launched. When the OPPO BDP-93/95 is set for source direct it would be ideal to be able to send streaming content at the native resolution of the stream being sent, however that is not allowed by the content providers and everything is upscaled to 1080P when connected to a 1080P display. Also all video codec, bit rate, and resolution screen information is disabled when streaming per the request of the content providers.

I received the following email today from OPPO Digital INC. OPPO Digital INC will look into fixing this issue with a future firmware update:

The following are word for word quotes from the email

“Thank you for the bug report. We have forward your observations to our engineers whom will look into addressing this issue through a future firmware release.

I wish Oppo would fix the audio issues of Total Recall with the upcoming firmware, too.

Now then… we’ve got an update for you on the audio problems with Sony’s Total Recall Blu-ray Disc. As I reported last we asked the studio for an update on the nature of the issue and what their plans were to address it. We’ve now gotten two responses from them. The first is a statement and information from the technical team on how to get around the issue:

“The complex branching on initial shipments of the Blu-ray Disc for Total Recall has caused a few unexpected dropouts in the lossless audio streams during disc play only on select player/receiver combinations. This issue only occurs if the lossless audio is decoded through an audio receiver or home theater system. If the Blu-ray player is connected directly to the TV, or if the lossless audio is set to decode directly through the Blu-ray player, there should be no issue.

SPHE is working with manufacturers on a possible firmware upgrade solution meanwhile, the playback in the affected player combinations can be resolved through a simple fix by changing the player’s audio settings to decode directly through the Blu-ray player by changing the settings as outlined below.”

There will probably be MTK software revision as the decoder needs the fix, but I haven't seen any vendor have a FW update against that Sony bit stream audio/branching issue yet.
