Yes there are two lasers, for dvd it's a 650nm pitch red laser and for blu ray it's a 405nm pitch violet laser. I don't know if you have a laser issue though it's always worth cleaning them from time to time, now having said that i believe my firmware for the BD-83 is the same as your firmware...

I would set it to 1080p for dvd playback and let the Oppo handle the scaling, i don't really watch much in the way of dvd these days, i notice edge enhancement too easily and very few dvd's don't have the sharpening turned up.

I guess like most companies they support for a limited number of years and then expect you to upgrade to their newer players.

Funnily enough it looks like my player. :lol:

You like to play dvd's too so i would avoid source direct. Just re-read your post again, for blu ray playback you can use source direct, it will give you playback without any processing whatsoever, if the disc is 1080i i'd switch it off, as long as you don't want to use any of the internal...

I'm doing okay except for this blasted heatwave, oh wait it's summer isn't it supposed to rain, humid evenings kill me. You still buying blu rays like they went out of fashion. :lol:

This page might help you. http://watershade.net/wmcclain/BDP-83-faq.html I keep all the advanced settings off or 0, have it set to output 1080p and my player has been running great for many years now. Use your i1Pro 3 meter and run tests with some settings on and off, you got yourself a great...
