Oppo BDP-93 remote/sensor issue


Any idea why the unit would stop responding to remote commands?  The remote itself lights up, but not sure if it's transmitting or if it's a problem with the player receiving.  I've refreshed the batteries, cleaned off all pertinent areas of the remote and IR receiver window.  The unit's 7 buttons are fine, but I can only play CD OR SACD on it, since I can't maneuver the menu on any video discs (BLU-RAY, DVD, etc).  All those buttons are on the remote.  Any help out there please?

Thanks !

I’d still be tempted to try the remote from Amazon to confirm, you can return it. I like Pirate Ship for best ship pricing too. Good luck , Mike B. 

The same thing happened to my Oppo UDP-203 remote. I tried every kind of troubleshooting Google gave me. I bought a cheap aftermarket one off of eBay which works fine but isn't nearly as nice or simple as the stock remote. Remote issues are literally the only negative thing I have ever seen re: Oppo. Besides this issue, I love mine.

So it makes more sense from a money standpoint to get the new remote ($20) vs. taking it to the shop (as @buellrider97 said).  The guy wants $45 just to diagnose the issue (which will go towards the repair).  I won't get the remote delivered till next week sometime.  Good thing i have a back up.
