Your "tech friend" isn't doing you any favors. I've owned my OPPO for about three years. Never had any problems and none of my friends who own one has had any issues either. If you hook the OPPO up to an ethernet connection it will automatically update its firmware (when necessary) as new software is released so it stays up-to-date.

Get the OPPO ! You'll never go wrong.

My friend stated that he did an install w/ an 105 and both the owner and himself were disappointed in the sync issues. My friend is an installer and does not endorse one product over another. He was giving me a heads up that the OPPO has some issues. I will be in contact with him to discuss the OPPO further. Just reading the reviews from owners it looks to be a slam dunk for audio playback?

I haven't updated my Oppo-83 in *years*, and it still plays flawlessly.

  Jack G,
  
  I've had two firmware updates for my BDP-83 come automatically over the ethernet over the past two years. These updates weren't a matter of whether or not the OPPO played "flawlessly" or not. Mine has always played fine. Both of these updates had to do with compatibility for brand new Bluray discs that did not even exist when my BDP-83 was manufactured. I know some people who do not have firmware updating universal players and they have fits when they try to play some very new discs.

    Mine isn't connected online, so it gets nothing automatically.
    Yes, I remember the security/compatibility issues.
    I used to update the firmware when it wouldn't play a new disc (which was annoyingly often), but I haven't had that issue in at least 3 years. Have the studios (Fox-I'm looking at you!) eased up on that crap, or have I just been lucky with buying new BDs?
    Just curious.
