Ideal to go with your HDTV display, the OPPO OPDV-971H is the first and only pure digital (DVI) HD DVD player to feature DVI, MPEG4/ DivX and a Faroudja technology all in one. This unique implementation of advanced video features gives DVD movies a sharper, deeper, more lifelike picture on your HDTV display. The DVD-971 also delivers richer, more finely realistic sound by virtue of its wider frequency range. **Video: The built-in, top-of-the-line FLI2310 Faroudja DCDi¿ analyzes video on a single-pixel granularity to detect angled lines and edges and select optimal filtering to eliminate motion artifacts. In film mode, DCDi handles 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown as well as correcting bad edits. With video-based material, the FLI2310 removes coloration artifacts produced by conventional video decoders. The OPPO OPDV-971H features DVI connection to HDTV/ Projector/ Plasma monitors that support HDTV or PC-type DVI connectors. DVI reproduces original digital signals without signal loss, since it does not need to convert from digital to analog and back to digital like conventional DVD players. It reproduces the highest-quality upconverted images in 480p, 576p (PAL), 720p or 1080i. The loader features Sanyo Super Error Correction with Twin Laser and Intelligent laser Wavelength Control, so the OPPO OPDV-971H loads and reads virtually any DVD ¿ DVD +/-R and DVD+/-RW ¿ with no problem at all. **Audio: Full Dolby Digital¿ and DTS¿ decoders are built in with full DSP menu and setup controls. **What¿s in the box: This player comes in a slim and stylish chassis. A remote control with illuminated buttons. Remote batteries (2 AA), 5-feet DVI-D and audio/vieo cables, and a user¿s manual.
User Comments about the OPPO OPDV971H Digital HD-Ready Up-Converting DVD Player
I could not find the convenient apparatus in french stores. I'm very satisfied with Oppo DVD player; it reads any DVD without tuning. I bought an OPDV 971 H, because I wanted to watch DVD from Region one casting Jeremy Brett (The BBC's Sherlock Holmes, 1933-1995). You put the DVD in the disk-tray, press "play", and that's all: it works.
It appeared to be a good player however it started malfunctioning after 1 year and by the end of the second year no longer worked.
Other manufacturers may have the same problem. Beware, though this may have to do with copy protection compliance or something. I love it's performance EXCEPT that it doesn't output HDTV resolutions through the component video interface. My TV only has component inputs so this is a big problem for me. We're kind of in the dark ages in video world where copy protection trumps functionality every time.
problem soved with logitech harmony remote. i would take a better back lighted remote over the included cables. i love that oppo is out there to extend the life of my sd-dvd collection. i put this unit on my panasonic plasma. updating the firmware was easy and i recommend doing it first thing. when i get a 1080p set, a new oppo will soon follow. it has fantastic features and plays every disk and file type i have tried. i highly recommend this product.
The unit works perfectly, has a sleek industrial design and comes with all necessary cables. I replaced a regular DVD player with this Oppo unit after I read an independent lab report that ranked it best when compared to 30 other models. I noticed a definite improvement in picture quality with DVDs played on my Sony Bravia 46" HDTV compared to my earlier unit.
