Firmware

Posted by cfraser on January 28, 2010 at 17:37:01:
Don't want to get involved in the discussion too much LOL, we did that many months ago elsewhere(s), but the only reported firmware difference is the Oppo logo was replaced with the Lexicon one.
Well, that and the Lexicon firmware may not be as up-to-date as the Oppo FW, since I don't know if Oppo will give Lex time to change logos in new versions before Oppo releases it to the public. Certainly the current Lex FW isn't as up-to-date as the current BDP-83 FW...not a big diff for many people, but some "higher end" wants were addressed.
Edit: oh yeah, one other thing the new BDP-83 FW seemed to do, though I have no proof: make the BDP-83 noticeably quieter. I could swear the fan comes on less often and slower than before with the newest Jan./10 FW, and also the drawer opens and closes smoother/quieter. Both these things are apparently controllable via FW. I sit 9' from the 83 and can just barely hear those noises now with some strain, whereas I easily could before (no audio on of course) and I haven't moved the 83 since I got it ~7 months ago. Maybe even quieter than a nice box can suppress them if the "old" FW is being used...just saying...but don't know.
