We miss the customizable home screen interface of the PS3/PS4, the 15sec jump feature on the PS3 remote, and a few other little things. That said, while it’s video playback and collection of highly functional, well-designed video adjustments and other features (like dual HDMI output and input so other devices can benefit from Darbee) are second to none, it’s not quite perfect. In addition to lasting about four times longer than alkaline, I have never seen a lithium battery leak.

Throw them away, and install lithium batteries. Overall, the Oppo UDP-203 comes with batteries for the remote control. The only way I have found to determine the region code of a disc is to use Apple’s “DVD Player” program and “Get Info” on the disc. Unfortunately, it will not display the region code. You can press the info button on the remote control to retrieve some interesting data about your disc. Regarding burnable DVDs and Blu-rays, it will play the new 1000 year lifetime burnable M-Discs, as well as the old-fashioned 7-10 year lifetime purple dye discs. Occasionally, I have seen firmware “updates” on other players prevent movies from working. A wonderful feature of Oppo units is that it is possible to DOWNGRADE firmware IF you keep a copy.
You can do it directly from the Internet or you can make a CD or USB stick.

The firmware is very easy to update on the Oppo UDP-203. The Hollywood Cartel does not like players that have UOP disabled.
This means even if the disc TRIES to lock down the remote control, it cannot do so, and you always have a functioning remote that will let you skip anything and everything you want to. This is what prevents you from fast-forwarding through “warnings”, commercials, previews, etc. When a disc is authored, it can be programmed to lockout functions on the remote control at various points in the playback. The unit does NOT have UOP (User Operation Prohibited) disabled. While I have not done a button-by-button comparison, it appears to me that every button on the remote is replicated on the remote control portion of the media controller app.
If you want to have access to the other buttons, simply scroll up or down. This contains most of the moment to moment controls. When selecting the remote control it defaults to the middle 1/3rd of the actual remote. Overall, Most complaints seem to come from a lack of connection to their network (did they connect the wifi USB stick or a wired connector to the OPPO? Who knows), or the apparently incomplete set of buttons on the remote control function. With selections to go directly to the appropriate setting to alter things when the player is asked to do something, the current settings don’t support. It would be better if the device was self-analyzing and would give messages through the TV with specific help.

But it is big and heavy.Īs I stated earlier, for many features, it is essential to read the manual to verify everything is “right” to make it work. I love the heft, and the buttons are big enough my old eyes can read the captions.
