OPPO OPDV971H Digital HD-Ready Up-Converting DVD Player
Will Not Play DVD+R Dual Layer
I ended up emailing OPPO and they sent me a link to a website where I downloaded a firmware upgrade.  The firmware upgrade needs to be written to a CD-R, then placed in the OPPO then follow the directions on the website link they will send you and the firmware upgrade is easy to complete. At some point AMAZON (and other places) will run out of the units that need the firmware upgrade...but until then, you need to know that if you plan on playing DVD+R DL on your OPPO, more than likely you will need to do the firmware upgrade. Once you do, the unit does a very nice job of upconversion.  Also, somebody earlier posted a message about DMI being outdated by HDMI. That's rediculous. HDMI is simply DVI with audio added into the same cable. Which is nice, but its no big deal to run separate audio cables. If your hi-def set only accepts HDMI, then get a DVI to HDMI converter cable (readily available) but you will still need to run your audio cables separately. DVI is no impediment whatsoever.      So - now that I did the firmware upgrade, I would update my rating to 4 stars...but alas Amazon won't let me change that.
