So you've received the kit or waiting? From where do they ship the item? Where've you got the pointer to this bluraychip.dk site?

1. Waiting for the mod kit
2. Denmark
3. AVSForum

Oppo BD80 & CA 650 are very similar like their DVD models-

they both use mediatek chipsets, and they both use a contract manufacturer called Winbase. In terms of video i would imagine that the CA and the BD80 should perform similarly. The CA might have some advantages in audio (might, i have no clue).

 

[spirovious]

Thanks psychotropic,
you have done lot study...

For audio CA uses CS chips(ciruss) & even oppo may have same(like DV980 had CS)

Thanks in advance.

I am planning to buy OPPO BDP-80 Blu-ray Disc Player with SACD & DVD-Audio. I would like to know whether it will work in india or not.
please reply ASAP

 

[spirovious]

It will work in India as it has universal powersupply.

<will it play any CD/DVD and blu ray? please let me know as i am in USA and planning to buy this.>

It will play any dvd/bd only if you apply the mod kit for region free. Else it will play BD and DVD of US regions. Search the forum for the different mod kits available and used by ppl.

You wont need a voltage convertor as spirovious has indicated.

 

[spirovious]

It it reglock for Bluray & you need mod kit.
CD no problem.
DVD will work regfree once you put the mod.

 

[rs_bisen]

Thanks for reply
what would be the cost of that? please let me know or any other blu ray which will work in india and play any DVD/CD/DVIX and bluray which will not require any modification etc. .

 

[spirovious]

Still no to BD playback.
Oppo Bd80 around 15k there.

 

[rs_bisen]

if I put Region free Mod Kit then will it play all the things?

 

[sud98]

Yes it does play all regions of BD and DVD post mod. Mod kits are also available for the Panasonic, However, they require soldering of a chip unlike the Oppo which is a cable insert.

will oppo be able to play 3D content to 3d tvs

 

[sud98]

No, it wont. There could be future firmware upgrades but from the beta testers it appears unlikely. For 3D, your best bet will be mainstay BD players, LG appears to be one of the first to have launched and at a not-too expensive price. PS3 is rumoured to have it in the offings and it probably makes a lot more sense for games like Gran Torino to have 3D.

 

[spirovious]

For 3D HDMI 1.4 may be required & BD80 may not support with FW upgrade perhaps.
CA BD650 also can be modded.

 

[just4kix]

In my opinion, there is too much overhype on 3D. It does add a lot of novelty but I am sure it will wear off very quickly. And those glasses are too tiring for the eyes. While watching Avatar, I used to take them off from time to time.

 

[KonfuSed]

I have bought mine from bluraychip.dk found it better than bluraymods as the mod kit is a simple cable unlike the soldering kit and chip in bluraymods for the Oppo.

I can certify the site once I receive the mod kit.

Hey, have you received the mod kit? Waiting for your update on this.

 

[sud98]

I think it will take around 3-4 weeks. Will post details once I get it.
