Need some advice!

I played a music CD in my OPPO 93 and ever since I have been getting choppy video from all Blu Ray discs. Audio plays fine.

I stuck a DVD disc in and the video is fine for that. So, I stuck a br back in and I got the same choppy video. I tried 2 other BRs and experienced the same thing.

So, I checked for any firmware updates and I am current. I then did a factory reset and still have the same issue.

I cannot find anything in the manual or through Google that gives me some idea of what to do.

Any suggestions?

That is odd, have you tried unplugging the player for a few hrs?

No, I have not. I will give it a shot overnight.

What do you mean by choppy video?

I'd call or email Oppo. Their customer support is rock solid!

What do you mean by choppy video?

The best way I can describe it Leonard is that I can see a clear picture, but it jumps around almost like you are seeing the previous frame, current frame, and next frame all at the same time.

Ok, I fired up a BR first thing this morning and I did not have the issue. So, unplugging it seems to have corrected what was going on.

So, to see if I could recreate it, I stuck a CD back in and played one track. I then popped it out and stuck the same BR back in. The issue is back.

It is probably something I have set, but after poring over the manual last night, I have mo idea what it might be. I think I will do as Todd suggested and call OPPO today.

Hmmm, thats so strange, I agree a call to Oppo is in order.

Called OPPO - they made a great suggestion which I should have thought of - connect the player right to the projector. When I did this, I was not able to recreate the issue.

So, that seems to narrow it down to an HDMI cable or the AVR. I swapped out another HDMI cable and the issue persisted.

So, down to the AVR. I played with the picture adjust (menu item 4.5) and was able to get the issue to go away by changing the mode to "through". However, once I put the CD back in and then put the BR back in, the issue presented again. I was ale to get it to go away by going back to "custom".

All in all, a truly odd issue. More to come as I continue to try to figure this out......

Maybe you should try unplugging your AVR... Hold down the power button to drain any remaining power... And then let it sit over night?

Worth a shot - thanks for the suggestion Todd!
