OPPO OPDV971H Digital HD-Ready Up-Converting DVD Player
Oustanding DVD player
Don't waste your money on blu-ray or HDD-DVD. If your set is HDTV compatable with either 720p or 1080i resolution and you have a DVI connection on the back of your set, go with this DVD player. Be foreworned, however, that unless you use the DVI output on the OPPO, you won't be taking advantage of the Froudja DCDi video processing technology. If you intend to use component, composite or S-Video, buy a cheaper player. <br /> <br />Also, if your reciever has an optical or digital coaxial input for sound, pop for the optical first or the digital second. The sound that the OPPO produces will blow you out of the room. <br /> <br />You can use a DVI to HDMI cable if you perfer and still take full advantange of the OPPO's video technology.  <br /> <br />It's a great machine and worth every penny. If you don't believe me, check out the Samsung blu-ray and it's minute long load time, skippy picture and really poor performance. OPPO made a believer out of me!
