OPPO OPDV971H Digital HD-Ready Up-Converting DVD Player
Oppo doesn't care about deaf/hard-of-hearing people
I wrote to Oppo before ordering to make sure that this player would support closed captioning. Oppo's response, although it arrived within hours, was that due to \\"an oversight\\", the player doesn't support closed captioning. <br /> <br />It's a shame; I've seen good reviews of this DVD player. <br /> <br />I will be purchasing from another manufacturer that does recognize that disabled customers have needs that need to be met, and that there is profit in catering to them. Shipping a device that doesn't provide closed captions in this day and age is just unacceptable -- especially in a product that does have the ability to update its own firmware. <br /> <br />Furthermore, I will also be letting others in the deaf and hard-of-hearing communities that I am part of know that Oppo doesn't consider the needs of the disabled to be important in its product design, and will be recommending its competitors.
