Oppo 103 freezing.........

Another thing you can try is to erase the usb stick and put the same files back on it. The data may be corrupted.

The stick was a Duracell 8gb.

I am having problems w/freezing or lock up also (almost have to restart once every week it seems). Sometimes it manifests itself as I switch from 1 file to another, there are usually a serious of pops/hiss and the new selected file "runs" but no sound thru system. Have had a discourse w/Oppo by phone and they point to 1 thing or the other, but it still happens now 6 months later .. they frustrate me. USB thumb drive types were verbally checked by them to be "ok" ("no difference" San Disk and Verbatim, 16-64gb usb 2.0 & 3.0)

My oppo 103d is having a problem with only certain tracts on my 1T seagate which I have connected to one of the rear usb ports. If I jump past these specific tracts (two that I’ve identified so far), the thing doesn’t freeze up. The music on my hd btw is 24 bit 192, 88, 176, etc.

I think it’s a corrupted data problem, but not sure. I’m soon replacing my 103d with a used 95 and moving it upstairs to be used in our home theater system and will see if the problem propagates with the hard drive.

Will keep you posted on my findings. I guess I could experiment with the thumb drives as well.

Its imperative that you restore the factory default settings after a firmware update on these machines.....I had the same problem, it was resolved after resetting / restoring factory defaults.  

The USB drive may not be "fast " enough, some cameras have problems writing to cards with slower data transfer rates, could be a problem with the drive
