Upgreade the receiver and then your choices open up on replacing the Oppo.

yeah at least email them about your situtation. that's what i just did with my Oppo 93 that kept giving me the "no disc" message. they responded with instructions on how to clean the laser. i'm back up and running

what instructions did they give you?

 

[mandrix]

Cleaning the laser lens is not difficult. I don't remember every detail but basically, remove the cover, remove the laser housing, clean the lens. I used 91% alcohol and cotton balls. The laser reads the disc from the bottom, so it will be oriented correctly for cleaning easily once the lens cover is removed.

Maybe the folks at Menlo Park have a detailed description for those that need it. Worth asking I guess.

Unfortunately it has only HDMI outputs and OP's Sansui receiver only has analog inputs.

use a HDMI to analog box,. It's a cheap solution ... (aliexpress.com ..)
(have to use them also )

I have one of these...works good, although I no longer use it.

Reading threads like this I feel so lucky to have the option that I use.
All music ripped, listen only to ripped files of any format.
PC>USB out>external MCH DAC>analog RCA's out to the 7.1 Analog in back of AVR, and boom.
For Atmos PC>HDMI out to HDMI in of Atmos capable AVR.
All that said, I am sure something will break at some point, but so far so good.

PC>HDMI>AVR for everything.
Well I do use the disc players once in a while to make sure they still work. lol.
All HDMI, all the time. No analog anything except pre outs from the AVR to another amp for my side and rear surrounds.
Whatever works for ya is what is good!

What multichannel DAC do you use if I may ask?

I use the exesound38? MCH DAC, I think around 4K. Excellent product and support. Made in Canada.

Sony X800M2 Built like a tank, great smooth quiet transport, plays just about everything done.
Best of all being sold on sale everywhere for under $250. Just got one for myself as a backup since
the price drop.

You should send it to me for vetting!

Anything for a brother boonyrat.

If the X800M2 will play burned DVDA then I may check it out. Otherwise I'll stick with the old Oppo's.

Why you say? Because I sometimes author DVDA discs and need to play them to vet them.

If it plays DVD-Rs I would think yes, especially if it plays DVD-As as noted in specs.

Not trying to be vague. Are there players show do not play a burned DVD?

 

[Sal1950]

There is a post somewhere where the OP could not play DVD-R and started to get assistance from Sony for it. He also noted that the manual says it will play them. If I find the link I'll come back and post it.

Edit: found it

Looking for most inexpensive universal disc player recommendations...NOT SONY!

 

[Old Quad Guy]

The Sony will not play burned copies of DVD-A or SACD-R. But it will play Multi-Channel FLAC. It will also play your store bought DVD-A, SACD and Blu-Ray discs. Also, 4K Blu-Ray discs.

When you say "burned copies" OQG, you mean an encrypted copy?
The reason I'm trying to be clear is I sometimes author DVDA, so naturally I would like to burn a copy and make sure it's fine in a disc player.

I have 3 Oppo's that will play burned DVDA, but as we know they are getting a little long in the tooth.

What is a DVD AUDIO *4? Never heard of the format? I’m serious, they had the chance to state DVD-A and chose not to?

Ok then, does it decode a DTS CD like those nice old releases….. and conversions on CD-R? Need to be able to play Gaucho and Tres Hombres of course?
