There's usually a slider on the side of the drive. In one position it is read-only and in another it is write-enabled. Just try copying a file (any file) onto it and if it lets you, then you're good. If not, then look for a slider-switch. I checked all three and I can write on them all freely. Well it was worth a check. Now you need someone with a Mac and experience with OSX to chime in. I'm afraid I'm in the Windblows camp.

I have been running on 1.3a for some time now. I have a Comcast Cable box and when surfing channels (i.e. using the up and down buttons in the channel guide) I continue to have issues with the XMC-1 shutting off. This has happened about 6-8 times in the last 3 months. I have always been in standby.
Not a big deal, all I have to do is turn on the XMC-1. However, just wanted to post in case anyone else is still having the problem. I can't recall this ever happening before firmware 1.3.

This reminds me...I need to update to 3.1a! But, there's really nothing I need to fix with my XMC-1. Love how it works.

Well boys and girls, I have checked here every day for 3 months now and I guess those of us with the Oppo THUMP are just expected to go away!!!!! It seems that 3 months is a reasonable amount of time to get that worked out IF anybody is actually working on it. I guess they are not. DRAT!!!!! God Bless, Wayne

Here's my issue - new install. The Video is set to standby so switching from HDMI1 to HDMI2 is faster, but if I don't use the system for more than a day, when I boot up the current HDMI signal Flashes(On and Off). I have to shut down and restart the system fully. Any one else see this?

I had a strange hdmi copy protection and picture flashing on and off at times so I just replaced the hdmi cable and the problem has not returned.

Please LCSeminole. I have posted 7 times on this thread alone (not to mention the other places where the Oppo thump has been discussed) Firmware 3.1 did NOT fix the thump!!! 10/23/15 for starters. 10/31/15 follow up, again 11/13/15 (2 posts), 11/16/15 still reporting, then from 2/16/16 just bumping this thread, which was on top, but has now gotten buried!!! Thanks if there is any help from anyone. God Bless, Wayne

So, behind the sarcasm, you guys are thinking that a problem well documented here on the forum by several posters and known about by Emotiva for months now, you are thinking that IF they solved the problem they would not bother to tell us about it here? That they are just waiting for us to make an International phone call at a time difference of around 12 hours.and ask them "what have you figured out that you are not telling us" ?? ODD. I had not made those assumptions about Emotiva. My assumption about Emotiva customer service was that it is pretty darn good and IF they figure out a problem for their customers they would tell us. Anyone else agree with the posters above, and think I am wrong, ought to call? Thanks and God Bless, Wayne

texthai , if I were you, I would definitely call Emotiva. Here's why: Everyone's systems are different, with different connection methods and so if you call, you get to detail all that with customer support. They deal with many different situations and are able to better analyze the problem. In my younger days, I used to work in a garage as a car mechanic's assistant. A lady kept insisting that she heard a knocking sound from her engine. After several unsuccessful attempts at diagnosing the issue, the mechanic put some of the pieces together. She said it happened every other day - odd! In talking to her, turns out she went to Bingo in a nearby town every other day. The noise occurred on the way there, but not on the way back. Hmm.. intriguing. He talked to her some more and she says she went grocery shopping on the way back, and took the local streets. He was determined to find the root cause. He asked to go along with her one week. I drove behind them so I could bring him back to the garage. When we got to the bingo he was grinning ear-to-ear. He'd found the cause. You won't believe it. On the way there, she took the state road and the "noise" was when she was driving over the cat's eyes on the edge of the road! True story.. Of course the fix was easy... diagnosing the issue was a little more challenging. Corollary: Call as things are seldom what they appear to be. It doesn't have to be too expensive - install Skype and put on a dollar's credit on it. That should easily last a few calls. That's what I would do.. if I were you.

I was not being sarcastic (my humor about Porscheguy notwithstanding). Like any company or person, Emotiva has to set priorities; new products, staffing, shipping, technical issues, etc. each get attention as they are deemed of greatest value. Certainly different groups prioritize further within their purview. The 'Oppo Thump' is likely on someone's list, but it's priority is based on many things, including how many people are affected, and how loudly they make their problem known (the squeaky wheel gets the grease). These forums are user supported, they're for us to help each other. Of course some Emo staff participate and can be of great value, but none of these threads are a direct link to tech support, nor does posting here generate a help/trouble ticket. By calling, you bring your (and evidently others) problem directly to those who are charged with solving it, and possibly remind them that it hasn't gone away, you may even learn what progress they've made in solving it. It might further be true that they're having difficulty duplicating the issue and that by calling you can help (I did this with remote codes last summer). That you are in a much different time zone is indeed inconvenient, and possibly makes your call more expensive, but direct contact is probably the best, and possibly only way to take this issue forward. A PM to Keith or other staff might help come up with a good time to make the call and speak with someone who is best suited to help you.
