SilverSport Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 any recommendations for a Blu-Ray player that is at the lower price point but still quality???...I'd like it to have connections so I can play the newest DTS and Dolby formats... I haven't bought a Blu-Ray player since I purchased my Oppo BDP-83 and Friday I ham handed the front drawer...I plan to find some repair place to fix what I did to the front drawer (nothing plastic broken but I forced the drawer open over the plastic gears and can't seem to get it back to normal with my skill set ... thanks for any input you care to share...

SilverSport Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 well I sent an email (on a Sunday) to the service email address listed for Oppo...I fully expected to get a non deliverable or similar response since I thought Oppo was out of the USA entirely (at least for DVD/Blu-Ray)...to my surprise I received a response and information to send my Oppo back for service...I'll have to pay the flat rate repair service ($99) but they should be able to get my BDP-83 up and running again... I appreciate the responses here too as I am sure I'll be wanting something newer soon enough but the repair will buy me some time yet...

Schu Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Yes... Oppo still services their players. No one is sure for how long the parts will last though. I thought you wanted a replacement, otherwise I would have recommended servicing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiva Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Have you tried pushing the close door button and trying to manually push the drawer in at the same time? Did you also talk to or email tech support for ideas to fix the drawer issue before shipping it back to them? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 thanks...that would have worked had I not pulled the drawer out over the plastic gearing...tech support said for my issue the BDP-83 must come in for the repair...

SilverSport Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 yes...I have 2 OPPO BDP-83s...both about the same age but one is going back to CA for the second time in 6 and a half years but admittedly it was my fault pulling on that drawer...

SilverSport Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 less than 2 weeks from drop off at FedEx to delivery back to my house...my wallet is about $150 lighter but I don't think I could find a BluRay player as nice as my Oppo BDP-83 for that...tip of the cap to Oppo Bill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
