I can understand the OP's question. I have a cheap Sony BR player and it makes all these noises for about 40 seconds before the menu pops up.
How fast is the Oppo BDP-93?
Specifically, how fast does it load DVDs and CDs? The reviews note that it's very quick to load Blu-ray discs (compared to other Blu-ray players). I assume that the same is true for DVDs and CDs, but I haven't found any information on load times for those formats. Thanks.
