What's in the Box Oppo BDP-93, Remote Control, User's Manual 3D Technology Checklist This product is 3D-related. To help you get a great 3D experience, use our checklist below to ensure that you have everything you need. If you have any questions or want to learn more about 3D, we invite you to visit 3D 101--our center for everything 3D. To get started with 3D, please ensure that you have: A Display The first--and most important--item you'll need is a 3D-ready display--whether it be a 3D HDTV, 3D projector, or 3D computer monitor. These displays usually have a higher processing power than older models as they need to display one image for each eye to create a 3D effect. A Source While your display is ready for 3D playback, you still need a device to read 3D content (i.e., a movie or a show). This source can be a cable box with a subscription to a 3D channel, a 3D Blu-ray Disc player, or a PlayStation 3. Content In order to watch 3D, you will need to get some 3D content. This 3D content will come from the source mentioned above in the form of a 3D program, movie, or game. Please ensure that your 3D movies are in the Blu-ray 3D format, as this new format will provide the best 3D experience. 3D Glasses All 3D HDTVs on the market require Active Shutter glasses to create the 3D effect. You will need to buy one pair of glasses for each viewer. Also make sure that the Active Shutter glasses you buy are compatible with your display--for example, buy the glasses from the same brand as your 3D HDTV. HDMI Cable To connect your source (such as a 3D Blu-ray Disc player) to your display, you'll need a hgh-speed HDMI cable. Cables with this designation--with bandwidth speeds up to 10.2 Gbps (gigabits per second)--will be able to carry the 3D signal without any loss of quality. If you want to get more information about 3D, shop our 3D products, watch videos, or interact with other customers, visit 3D 101, our customer center about everything 3D.

Customer Reviews There are more useful than 316 309 people found this review helpful. Impressive audio and video from Dr. Stuart Gitlow Oppo has created a name for themselves with their Blu-ray home theater enthusiasts. Ranked among the extraordinarily high end devices and players that you can buy warehouse clubs, the units have been welcomed by users Oppo really worth it, providing a quality experience. Hence the brand new OPPO BDP-93's. There were problems that were solved with the firmware update first, already included in the units of issue. Firmware updates take place wirelessly using the included wireless dongle, assuming, of course, you have a wireless network at home. You can also connect to the network using an Ethernet cable. First thought: This is a good car full of reflections on the soft front panel inputs and outputs clearly marked on the rear panel, and view an informative and useful. Drop in a DVD-A disc, for example, as in Lord of the Rings complete soundtrack set, and front panel notifies you that you're listening to a DVD-A There is no confusion, as there may be other components that though you might be a mistake to listen to the standard stereo track and create surround sound from it. The intuitive set-up of panels, accessed via the well-designed and internally illuminated remote control that quickly allows you to adjust your playback want - you can listen to the multi-speaker output from DVD-A or the mixed-down stereo version of the press of a button. And I started out with a sound discussion for a reason. Many of us with high end CD players still have an extra box in our audio stack; to find a DVD player, Blu-ray or otherwise that may play a regular CD with sufficient quality for the removal of CD player has been a difficult task. Most reviews of DVD players seem to ignore stereo audio component completely. Here, you not only have the ability to listen to DVD-A versions of audio sources when available, but you have a real reason to disconnect your CD player for good I have one of Sony's wonderful ES models from years ago which until now has been unparalleled by any reasonably priced component. The staging of the audio, though, is really improved on the Oppo over other DVD players and is at least on a par with the Sony ES CD player, if not somewhat better. Taking, for example, "Blackbirds" from the new remastered Beatles White Album, Paul is clearly staged just to the left of my right speaker. His vocals are pure and clear to an exquisite extent (sometimes to a fault as you can now clearly hear a sibilant s in the lyric - a fault of the microphones of the era - that is somewhat muffled on other equipment). Orchestral and pop music alike are impressive and clear. Of course, now you can listen not only to standard commercial CD's, but also to CD's containing .mp3 or .f flac libraries (among other alternatives) In those latter situations, your TV will function as a display, showing the titles of the entire disc's content and allowing you to easily pick your desired track. The Oppo's front drawer operates smoothly, quickly, and quietly, and the entire unit itself is inaudible in operation unless you're hovering a few inches above the component. Playback of DVD-A's and CD's are quick and straightforward. No delays in loading were apparent. Unlike many alternative models, the Oppo responds quickly. Turn it on by pushing the eject button and the unit will immediately come alive and open the drawer. There's been no time when I found myself standing next to the component and waiting for a response - as I have with many earlier Bluray players. After testing audio, I moved to streaming. Getting my Netflix account set up to stream to my BDP-93 took all of one minute. Seriously, this was far faster than I thought possible.
