I bought an Oppo BDP-203 a few weeks before Oppo announced they were going to stop producing blu-ray players. (Really great timing on my part.) It sat unused in its box until about a week ago when I completed re-configuring my entire A/V system. After allowing the player access to the internet, it is asking if I want to update the firmware to version UDP20X-65-0131. (I have firmware update notification turned on, but not auto-update.) My question: Have any of you 203 owners updated to this firmware version and, if so, have you experienced any negative results?
I no longer allow firmware updates to anything without exploring what is being update and what possible consequences will be incurred. (That's why my Oppo BDP-93 will never see the internet - it still plays SACD-Rs and ISO based blu-rays.) I don't know what other features the studios may be demanding manufactures to "lock out", so that is why I am asking. I don't want to trade, for example, a bit better 4k performance (that my TV can't use) to lose a feature, function or format ability I do use.
