Question about Orei BDP-M2 - Blu-ray Forum

Gatterling · 03-26-2013, 07:46 PM

This player looks perfect but apparently isn't wireless. I was wondering, for those of you who own this, can this player be manually updated via a USB drive? Or would I have to plug in an Ethernet cable? Thanks for any help!

You can use a USB drive, there's one right in the front of the player.

Is there a place to download the updates from? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

I'm not sure, I just sent Orei an email and asked them. When they let me know, I will let you know.

I suppose I could have done that.

Thanks very much for your help!

Yeah, you should email them with the model number and they will send you a download. I just got the download today via email.

Gatterling · 04-03-2013, 12:35 PM

Thanks so much!

I was worried about buying this if I couldn't update it, but if they're able to send you an update via email, it looks like it'd be fine.

Hi, I'm from Argentina, I would buy this bluray player (Orei BDP-M2), my question is if when I connect an external disk, the HDD can be formatted as NTFS

The USB input is compatible with NTFS format?

many Thanks
Wolko

I just ordered an Orei BDP-M2 from Amazon tonight.

Am really hoping that this will do everything that I am reading it does...I have some UK blu-rays I am dying to check out!

Beauvoir · 08-07-2013, 04:25 AM

My player arrived today (wasn't expecting it quite so soon!) and I am now watching my UK "DRACULA".

So far, it looks great!

Beauvoir · 08-09-2013, 01:18 AM

Anyone have trouble powering off?
After watching a disc, I took it out, closed the tray and hit "power".

On the front display it says OFF and the eject light and play light are illuminated.

Is not responding to any functions unless I unplug the unit and then plug it back in.

Is this normal for this unit?

Yeah it does that to me too, where I can only power on and off the unit with the remote.

My new M2 player just did this as well.

Did this problem recur on yours?

kinemax · 01-26-2014, 01:04 AM

Has anyone succeeded in using a WiFi USB dongle with the M2?

My player on powering up detects the dongle (which has RA MT7601 chip and is inserted in the back USB port) and briefly displays the animated "WiFi dongle inserted" icon.

However there does not seem to be any place in the menu to setup the WiFi network -- there is no "interface" section to select Ethernet/WiFi as page 21 of the user-manual says.

I've had this unit for 4 months and it's never given me a single problem.

Hey guys I just purchased the same player with the 1608 revision and the code is no longer 8520. It has changed to 0714. I just tried it and it works so it should fix your problem if you still have the players. Hope this helps.

adwaitjoshi13 · 07-03-2014, 07:26 PM

@ Stratamaster78

I tried using the code you mentioned. Doesnt work

I have the same firmware (1608). If it really worked for you, can you please post details as to how you got it working??

Really appreciate the help.

Thanks

I turned the player on with no disc inside and then pressed the setup button on the remote. Then enter '0714' and it takes you to the Area/Region Code page. The DVD part will already be set to '0' for region free. Down arrow on the remote to drop to the Blu Ray Region. Enter the number 1 for Region A, the number 2 for Region B, or the number 3 for Region C. Let me know if this works or not...that's how I have been changing it since learning the new code from Bombay Electronics.
