• BD100 freezing

  Yes, this is not uncommon with 100gig discs (triple-layered). Same with the Oppo 203. My copy of 2001 skips an entire chapter. I can not get it to play correctly in any of my 4K players. I owned a ...

• Forcing Dolby Vision on SDR content in UHD/DV Discs

  Any updates on this, Magnetar team? If this is implemented I would consider buying a Mrk II player.

• Forcing Dolby Vision on SDR content in UHD/DV Discs

• Noisy Disc drive

• Noisy Disc drive

  Same here. Both of my 800's are *extremely* noisy with 75% of UHD discs. Some discs sound positively loud, almost like an espresso machine. My Oppo 203's are whisper quiet in comparison. I hope thi...

• Forcing Dolby Vision on SDR content in UHD/DV Discs
