User Submitted OPPO BDP-80 Blu-ray Disc Player with SACD and DVD-Audio (Black) Reviews Date: 2010-07-23 Very easy to use Blu-Ray player Very well built, easy to use with excellent, clear instructions. Well pleased with the purchase. Date: 2010-07-20 oppo bdp 80 - versatile rich featured quiet fast bluray player pro superb picture and sound quality versatile, plays all kinds of discs and media lots of features like bass management etc. no fan, so pretty quiet, except for very little drive noise lots of inputs & outputs and volume control works great so far contra speed is good "for bluray" but menu, prev/rev/fwd/next and general operation lags some what could/should be more fluently no high expectations at the appearance at this price (personally i like it) plastic front, slightly flimsy disc drawer user freedoms/restrictions could be friendlier sadly the player doesn't ignore "must view content" on the disc once caught in a 90sec anti copy clip, there's no way out! no fwd/next in (animated) menus forced subtitles can't be deactivated "operation blocked by disc" no hard power switch (~1/2W standby power consumption is acceptable) Date: 2010-07-19 Oppo Bdp-80 Blu Ray Player This is one blu ray player that lives up to its hype. It plays both conventional and blu ray discs flawlessly. The load time for blu ray discs is excellent. It also plays SACDS which is not available on many blu ray players. One interesting feature is the resume feature. I collect old movie serials from the 1930's and the 1940's. I watched chapter 3 the other day, took out the disc, and when I put the disc in a few days later, the oppo remembered where I left off and immediately started to play chapter 4. Quite impressive. All in all, an excellent machine and I highly recommend it. Date: 2010-06-30 OPPO BDP-80 This product is outstanding. The set up was effortless and the audio/video quailty is fantastic. I listen to a good deal of DTS and SACD audio titles and this unit handles the playback very well. It has been 60+ days now and I am still very satisfied with this device. Date: 2010-06-28 Analog Out to my 5.1 Denon works great. Oppo Runs HOT This Oppo-83 was so hot after watching a movie that I could barely keep my hand on it. Both top and bottom are very hot. Not sure why the perforated vents are on the bottom. Does not seem helpful in letting heat escape. I'm concerned that this could be a problem for longevity down the line but I'm not sure it's a problem at all. I read one other review that said it ran cool even without a fan. Perhaps mine gets hot because it's decoding the Dolby TrueDB in the player and out analog connections rather than having a receiver do it via HDMI. Any comments on the heat would be highly appreciated. I really like my [old] Denon receiver but it does not have an HDMI input so I could not use it with my Sony BX1 Bluray Player. Most Bluray Movies do not have the Dobly Digital 5.1 sound track and only come with the Dolby TrueHD and 2-Channel Dolby Surround. I was having to rent the DVDs, rather than BRs, and having the Sony BX1 upscale to my 65" Plasma only to get the Dolby Digital 5.1 sound too. With the Oppo-80, I get to keep my Denon Receiver, move the Sony BX1 to the bedroom so my wife can watch BR movies there, and use the analog connections from the Oppo-80 to my 6 Channel Denon Receiver Inputs to get the best sound possible. It works great. I skip the Rear Surrounds since my Denon does not take 7.1. I used the Oppo setup menu for the rear surround speakers to say I had "none". Also used "DownMix to 5.1" in case the BR was really 7.1. With this setup, I was blown away with the sound from Avatar, the first Dolby True HD movie I have seen/heard at home. I have yet to try the PAL DVDs that I have from a different "Region", which I believe should play fine. Other comments: Successfully downloaded New Firmware upon first boot via Ethernet RJ- 45 connection. - Player Boots Fast. - Basic included remote not the best, ergonomically. - have not yet found an "Info" button to show how far along the movie is (like with the Sony) * Price is subject to change. |
