I almost don't believe it, but I experienced your #1 for the first time EVER yesterday. Just the tiny tiniest amount of lip synch, maybe a few ms. And that's via HDMI A/V. Never happened before. If I hadn't seen your remedy I would have gone nuts trying to figure out what to do: a pause then play and it was gone.
I am NOT going to erase my persistant storage (been a couple weeks since I have) to see if it's reproducible. I *did* have BD-Live enabled and the network gear turned on, though I wasn't intentionally "using it". I am 100% sure it is caused by the Oppo, and not the BD as it's one I've played before and there's nothing gear-wise changed in the A/V stream for 2-3 years.
So it happens for both analog and HDMI audio. My BD was PCM 7.1 and yours was DTS-HD MA 5.1, so probably not audio format specific.
AFAIK my 83 is working "perfectly". I use it every day for playing some type of disc (everything except CD).
Edit: yup, it's repeatable. Same disc. One time the lip synch started after coming out of a Pause. Clearing persistant storage doesn't prevent it. One occasion the synch kept getting worse and worse until even the person I was watching with said they could see it too...some people aren't that bothered by it, kinda like me with EE, has to be quite bad before I really notice. This synch problem isn't supposed to happen with HDMI A/V from the same source. Once again, it may have something to do with the network stuff, so I'll disconnect the 83 and see what that does (still, this shouldn't happen).
It's very strange that my 83 started doing this at roughly the same time yours did...it's not like I suddenly just happened to notice it, even the tiniest bit of it bugs me, so something's up. A virus on the 83?? I suppose I could re-install the last FW and reset everything to default then restore...if it's still happening in a few days I'll do that. You never know what crap is coming in via BD-Live, but I do sometimes use it to get new promos or stream shows.
