OPPO DV-970HD Up-Converting Universal DVD Player User Review

Amazing! 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. About 6 months after receiving the player, the remote took a vacation. 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. 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. 4 days later i had a new remote in the mail which has worked great ever since. I could only dream of getting this level of support from other companies.

The player itself is wonderful. In a nutshell, it plays -anything- i throw at it. DVDA, SACD, whatever movie files i find on my computer and throw at it… you name it. I even threw a divx file at it on a usb thumb drive and it ate it alive. Played great! The menus are great, the 6 channel direct sound from sacds is just phenomenal. I see allot of folks aren’t crazy about the quality of the tray. Well, okay… i admit, you can’t stand on it to change a light bulb but it’s a cd tray, not a stepladder. I don’t see the problem unless you load your dvd’s weigh a couple of pounds each.

Bottom line… it’s a great player and you can’t beat the price for this level of features. The cloth case they send it in is impressive as well. I don’t see how anyone can be displeased over this appliance.
