I tried the remedy suggested in the instruction booklet and I got it to work one more time, but after that, I kept getting the error message. Of course, it is now out of warranty and I would have to pay for it to be repaired. I was very disappointed as I am the only one here and did not use it very often. I have had this recorder for about a year. I unplugged it one day to vacuum and after that, I kept getting a "no disc" message. It was in the cabinet where it was protected, so I felt its life was rather short-lived for the money spent.
Now that I got a better quality Pioneer Plazma it is abvious that the player doesn't produce good picture quality. I've had OPDV971H HD for 2 years in conjunction with Sony Bravia LCD, worked very nicely. will be buying something new.
Because it does not have the name recognition of many other players, I have noticed friends reluctant to even consider it.If you are having trouble finding it, call the company direct. This is one of those devices that if you buy it, you will love it, but you will never be able to get your friends to buy it. This by far is the best DVD player I have ever owned. I love the intelligent up-conversion, its simple look at the fact that I can control just about every facet of the player.It is amazing they could do all this for so little money. Their customer service is excellent.
About 6 months after receiving the player, the remote took a vacation. you name it. it's a great player and you can't beat the price for this level of features. I even threw a divx file at it on a usb thumb drive and it ate it alive. Played great.
The cloth case they send it in is impressive as well. This appliance is simply amazing and it's backed by a sound company from which i have received nothing but top notch, lightning-fast customer support from. This worked for a while but when it stopped again, i emailed them once more at which point they asked for my home shipping address. I could only dream of getting this level of support from other companies.The player itself is wonderful. I see allot of folks aren't crazy about the quality of the tray. The menus are great, the 6 channel direct sound from sacds is just phenomenal. Well, okay.
I don't see the problem unless you load your dvd's weigh a couple of pounds each.Bottom line. i admit, you can't stand on it to change a light bulb but it's a cd tray, not a stepladder. DVDA, SACD, whatever movie files i find on my computer and throw at it. Amazing. In a nutshell, it plays -anything- i throw at it. I emailed the oppo support folks who responded back within a couple hours and posted a walk-through on how to reset the remote and resync it with the player. 4 days later i had a new remote in the mail which has worked great ever since.
I don't see how anyone can be displeased over this appliance.
So basically I'm using it as a transport. Very critical of anything wrong, therefore).The machine it replaced died, and I needed something to feed digital data to my D to A converter. But the stunning thing is that my system IMPROVED when I put the Oppo in, instead of the transport I'd used for years, which (in its time) was considered state of the art.It seems like we are offered more and more performance from less and less expensive toys. "These are the days of miracles and wonder" wrote Paul Simon.I use the Oppo machine in a system that (apart from the Oppo) would have to be classified as audiophile caliber. (For normal folks, let's just say they are VERY revealing of detail most speakers muffle. You'd have had to pay hundreds of dollars more to touch this performance a decade ago: to me the miracle is how much the Oppo achieves at an absurdly inexpensive price. The speakers are Martin Logan electrostats. Someone else said something about it being "cheaply built." OK, but I go by actual performance.In my system, it's making me toe-tappin' happy.
