Is this something that can be solved by firmware update?

it doesn't matter coz most BDs are 1080p anyways rite

Any idea why concerts are 1080i?

Some editions of Planet Earth also 1080i.

Bro, SEC Butterworth near where? Thks

Wah, price drop even more! Some more with free HDMI cable.

Which branch of SEC did you buy from?

eh...can bring this Sat ar...wanna test the audio quality, see can replace my CA Azur or not.

Mahal lar RM2.4k...

Buy Dune better

Tested the Oppo BDP-83 vs Dune BD Prime 1.0 just now.....

Oppo load a lot faster and it's region hack does not need to press any code to change region, just put the disc & play while Dune need to select thr region 1st and loads quite slow.

PQ wise....almost identical
AQ wise.... Oppo produce a tag more details and slightly better mid range than the Dune.

Audio CD - Oppo BDP 83 vs Cambridge Audio Azur 640Cv2

The oppo is a litter bright to my liking and unlike the smoothness of the Azur, the high can be a bit harsh especially on the timbre sound....

However, Oppo being connected through HDMI and the Azur using analog, this might the differences came from.

for this kind of price 3k.. wouldn't it be easier to buy two cheapo Region A and region B players and also Dune or C-200 , three units all in one.. 

Tested the Oppo BDP-83 against taukeh mpyw' Dune. I think it is a mod ver. It plays other reg BDs directly w/o the need to switch to the desired reg. This is convenient compares to Dune.

On video setting, BDP-83 comes with auto mode. So, you need not to switch it. The colour saturation (correct term?) of BDP-83 is marginally better than Dune. No visible bleeding and nice tone too.

On AQ, Oppo has less harsher treble. It has better control in this. Other than that, it is similar. For CD, do not have enough time to test using analog.

Oh yes, Oppo built quality looks good and the packaging can put those Japanese giant brands to shame.

Tempted to go for the Pioneer BDP-120 or Oppo BDP-83. But Oppo is quite expensive.

Features

The OPPO BDP-83 Special Edition Blu-ray Disc Player is an exciting upgrade based on the highly acclaimed BDP-83. Already well known for its exceptional audio and video performance, the BDP-83 is upgraded with an all new analog audio stage and improved power supply to become the Special Edition. Designed for the discerning audio enthusiast, the OPPO BDP-83 Special Edition Blu-ray Disc Player delivers an exceptionally wide dynamic range, ultra low distortion, accurate sound stage and jitter-free music clarity via its dedicated stereo and 7.1ch analog audio output.

The OPPO BDP-83 Special Edition uses the state-of-the-art Sabre32 family of Digital-to-Analog Converters (DAC) from ESS Technology. The Sabre32 family is known as one of the industry's highest performance audio DACs and are often found in high-end audiophile and professional equipments. The OPPO BDP-83 Special Edition uses an 8-channel Sabre Premier (ES9006) DAC chip for its 7.1 multi-channel output. The dedicated stereo output uses another 8-channel Sabre32 Ultra (ES9016) DAC chip by stacking 4 DACs for each of the Left and Right channels to achieve even greater audio performance.

Just like the BDP-83 it is based on, the OPPO BDP-83 Special Edition is a Profile 2.0 Blu-ray player featuring bit-stream and full decoding capability for high resolution audio tracks such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Designed for both home theater viewers and music listeners, it plays DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, Super Audio CD (SACD) and standard CD with excellent video and audio performance in addition to Blu-ray Discs. For a detailed list of features, please refer to the BDP-83 Features and Specifications page.

OPPO Digital recommends the BDP-83 Special Edition to customers who primarily use the analog audio output to connect to either a dedicated stereo or a multi-channel surround system. For customers who primarily use the HDMI output to connect to an A/V receiver or directly to a TV/projector, and for customers who primarily use the optical/coaxial digital audio output, the standard BDP-83 is recommended.

Why is it, when i set my video color setting to 4-4-4 the video image intermitten disappear

Found out the problem, my led lcd tv support i0 bit signalling video but i set to 12 bit from output from my blu rar. Thats why intermitten display blackout.
any way thanks bro.

I dont know what is really 4-4-4-or 4-2-2, can please enlighten.

My BD player is Sony BD360 n display setting is 1080p/24p

Ya ,my sharp led lcd tv only have 10 bit processor signal, but after i set to 10 bit everything fine, even set to 4-4-4 also no problem. Questio which one is better 4-4-4 or 4-2-2.

I guess present lcd tv only 10 bit processing color n is the highest if i am not wrong.

some noobie question.

does Blu-Ray player support playing VCD?  reason i ask is... well... long story cut short... one shop here told me ALL blu-ray player doesnt support VCD.  so just wonder if its true, or is it just Pioneer BD player.
