Great player but came with ants (very strange) [Posted on 2008-06-20]
Oppo DV-981HD Universal DVD Player with HDMI, 1080p Up-Converting, DivX & SACD I bought this player in February of 2008. Loved it. Used it with a 50-inch plasma TV and could really find nothing to complain about. At the end of May I moved from Ohio to Colorado and when I began packing up the unit (kept the original packing) ants began coming out of the unit by the hundreds. While my wife was looking on in horror, I moved the unit outside and opened up the case. The inside of the unit looked like a scene from the second Alien movie. It was filled with ant eggs and ants. I saturated the inside with ant spray and left it down by the curb for three days. Then put it out to the trash. Now, I cannot be ABSOLUTELY sure these ants came with the device but in my own mind, I'm am sure. First of all we have never had an ant infestation in our home. Yes, an occasional walk-in ant or two but nothing like this. Secondly, I have never seen ants like these in our part of Ohio. They were VERY small. I don't think there is anything I can do since I basically destroyed the unit but I can tell you I'm VERY reluctant to buy a replacement.
OPPO Customer Service [Posted on 2008-06-23]
My OPPO DVD player arrived with a couple glitches: coming out of screen saver, hitting Play does nothing. It doesn't respond and won't play. (Yes, I updated the firmware). So I called OPPO, and I'm not making this up, was told "Just press Eject and then re-insert the disc, and when it spins up you can start play from where you last left off. This doesn't fall under warranty because the player is known to do this and is otherwise performing to specs." Second glitch: Pause and then Frame Advance confuses the player and after 3-4 frames it just freezes and finally returns you to the Main Menu. OPPO's Customer Service response: "You're probably pressing the button too fast. I'll have to ask if the engineers if they've heard about this, but this isn't a reason we'd accept as a return." I think that's pretty lame.
Great DVD Player [Posted on 2008-06-23]
I had hoped this would be a good dvd player, after having read all the reviews. Turns out it really is. I am not exactly an electronics afficianado, but even I can tell a difference with this player. All movies appear hi-def or pretty close to it!! What a blast. So glad I did not go blu-ray just yet. This will do me fine for quite a while. Highly recommend it to any one not yet ready to take the blu-ray plunge. Can't imagine any regrets.
This unit is AWESOME [Posted on 2008-06-24]
The up-converting capability on this unit is ... in no other word ... AWESOME! This was an excellent choice and I would recommend it to anyone that wants to enjoy their existing DVD collection with spectacular HD quality. This unit and my Sony XBR are a phenomenal combination.
Amazing DVD for the price [Posted on 2008-07-07]
The OPPO is the best upconverting DVD on the market and is a steal at this price.
