So How Many Oppos Do You Own?

[mandrix]

They still have a service facility in California. I had to send my player to them for repair. They charge a fixed rate for repair, that covers parts and labor, and it's pretty reasonable.

Yes we know. The point was whether there are any in Spain. Jeez Louise.

They are still in business. After I inquired about my 970hd, 83 & 93, they sent me 3 links to buy out of warranty service for each of them. The 83 & 93 are $119.00ea and the 970HD is $59.00, basically $300.00 for parts and labor plus return shipping. It's great to have service still on these units. Shoot the 970HD is 18 Years old.

Just an update, I sent in units to OPPO the end of last week, and I got them back 9-12-24. On the 970HD they replaced the optical unit and upgraded to latest firmware. On the 83 they cleaned and repaired the disc loader and on the 93 they cleaned and repaired the disc loader and replaced the decoder board and upgraded the firmware.
It is great to have these units now in top shape.

Man that is awesome! Reassuring to know that Oppo is still taking care of us! So far all good. And two of the three we have are played pretty often. Thank you for posting! Mike

Perhaps I should send in my 970 for an overhaul
It's been stored for several years but was working fine when replaced by a 95.
Which in turn went into a box when replaced by a 205.....

They're taking care of you in the US. The rest of the world not so much.

Well then Owen, what's stopping you and your family from giving up your British roots and relocating to the Great Lone State of TEXAS, USA? Within two weeks you'll be lassoing cattle and substituting your British accent for a Texas Twang! YAHOO!

Watched a few episodes of the Stooges tonight. With Shemp. Surprisingly good. Now watching Fantastic Mr Fox for the first time. Great evening!

I have two OPPOs, the 83 and the 103. I have them both hooked up to vintage equipment and they work really wonderful.
I really only use them for putting a disc in and playing them back - old school. No ripping, etc.

Using this Zen amp from the bdp103, Awesome! View attachment 1726510155106.jpeg

I can’t believe I’ve never posted to this Thread.

I’ve been with OPPO from the very beginning. Purchased all their players up to and including the BDP-83. With the BDP-83, I put my request in for the Early Adoption Program they were running before actual release of that player. Being one of the first to have that player before official release, we were asked to give feedback. They wanted more feedback other than their current group of Beta Testers because this being their first Blu-ray player. Then, I was asked to join the Beta Tester Group before the release of their BDP-93 and BDP-95 player. I continued on as Beta Tester up to their dissolution, which seems like yesterday. Although, I was not asked to join their Personal Electronics Beta Test Group later on, I did help test their first product, the HA-1 Headphone Amplifier. For the most part, that Beta Test Group was pretty much comprised of different people than their universal disc players Beta Test Group.

To this day, I’ve given away or sold off all my OPPO equipment and only kept three universal disc players. The DV-980H, BDP-93 and UDP-205. The two players I never tested or purchased from OPPO were the BDP-95 and UDP-203. Recently, my BDP-93 died on me. I can get a faint blue light at turn on but no sound from the transport and no video out to my monitor. May it rest in peace.

As many of you have known, when OPPO announced they were closing their doors, they had quite a few but limited amount of UDP-203 and UDP-205 players they were selling. Some of their dealers also had stock. At that time, I wanted to acquire a UDP-203 but my finances, resulting from a big Out of State move, were very tight. To this day, I still long for that model player but don’t want to pay the asking price people are selling them for, which is usually double from their original retail price, or more.

It was a very sad day when I first heard the announcement and I will dearly miss this great company. Their support to their Beta Testers and customers were second to none.

The first Oppo Blu Ray player was the BDP-80, wasn't it? Was my second Oppo I bought directly from Oppo.
Still have it, a 970HD and the 103.

When OPPOrtunity KNOCKED, PERP ACQUIESCED!

Still have it.

Thinking that far back, I’m pretty sure it was the DV-970 followed by the DV-971. Then the DV-980 series.

Edit: sorry, missed your question. The BDP-83 was the first Blu-ray player. The first players were DVD based.

 

[mandrix]

Sadly there will be no more OPPOtunities.

The BDP-80 is indeed a blu ray player. I can see it from here. lol.
Everything up to that model was indeed DVD/DVDA/SACD/CD.
...at least the 970 series up to the 80 I believe.

Interesting, I’m sure you’re right. I just can’t recall that model number for a Blu-ray player model.

 

[mandrix]

The BDP-80 was not a "truly" networked player though it has an ethernet port.
