OPPO DV-970HD Up-Converting Universal DVD Player
their only job...
I liked the concept that the engineers at Oppo, their only job is to make DVD players, so they'd better do it well. <br /> <br />I think they succeeded with both this model and the '971. <br /> <br />The audio and video quality is great, the operation is smooth and annoyance free. Best of all, this player handles all DVDs with ease. I have been using commercial and rented DVDs, as well as some copies I've made on my PC. With all of them, my other DVD players have skipped at one point or another, Not always consistently a bad DVD. By that I mean I can take it to another player and it will play some chapter fine that skipped or hung on the other machines. I'm tired of DVD players not being able to play a DVD all the way through. <br /> <br />With the Oppo 970 I have yet to have a problem with any disks and I've had it for a month. That tells me that the optical pickup and decoding circuits and whatever error corrections they have programmed into the video processor must be working better than all the other brands of DVD players I have in house (about 5 others).  <br /> <br />
