Customer Reviews
Thanks Oppo! 
2007-12-29
Love this DVD player. It performs perfectly, is easy to use, is sleek and fits under my TV cabinet (no more room inside), and DVD's look sharp and crisp. I don't care that the DVD tray is not sturdier; it's never malfunctioned and is in as good shape now as on the day I bought this player. Oppo tech support is courteous and responsive and yes, they speak English! Had I known I would have waited for Blue Ray but I couldn't have asked for a better upconverting player. So yes, thanks Oppo and thanks Amazon for another great product at a great price and with free shipping.
Oppo Refurb DVD Player 2007-12-17
After reading about how great Oppo DVD players were for their upconverting feature, I bought a refurb model that matched the specs on my small screen HDTV. The unit is truly AMAZING! My DVDs never looked this good! The refurb worked perfectly and my only disappointment was that it took two weeks to receive the unit.
worth it 2007-12-09
At first I was a little skeptical because I have never heard of the brand, but after spending over $5000 on a plasma, I needed something nice and easy. This DVD player was so easy to connect. And it came with an extra HDMI cable! How great is that?! The quality is really good, but I did have a couple problems...it has frozen, mid movie on brand new DVD's and doesn't play some at all. All and all I think it's worth the money for all the features.
Great DVD Player! 2007-12-07
I was looking for a dvd player that would be able to handle upcoming technology and not break the bank. I did lots of internet research on sites like consumer reports. This player was given excellent reviews by every site and was in the top 5 dvd players out there. A great player!
Very happy with Oppo 2007-12-04
I spent a lot of time trying to decide which up-converting dvd player was the best choice for me. I could have bought a player locally for under $100 easily but I was concerned about the quality of the player. I am totally satisfied with the Oppo and amazed at the difference in the picture quality. If you are looking for a quality up-converter here it is.
Good with Sony, Bad with Pioneer 
2008-05-23
I've had OPDV971H HD for 2 years in conjunction with Sony Bravia LCD, worked very nicely. Now that I got a better quality Pioneer Plazma it is abvious that the player doesn't produce good picture quality. will be buying something new.
Best player I have ever owned 
2008-03-27
This by far is the best DVD player I have ever owned. I love the intelligent up-conversion, its simple look at the fact that I can control just about every facet of the player.
It is amazing they could do all this for so little money. This is one of those devices that if you buy it, you will love it, but you will never be able to get your friends to buy it. Because it does not have the name recognition of many other players, I have noticed friends reluctant to even consider it.
If you are having trouble finding it, call the company direct. Their customer service is excellent.
More than i expected 2008-03-16
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.
Mirable dictu 2008-02-20
"These are the days of miracles and wonder" wrote Paul Simon.
I use the Oppo machine in a system that (apart from the Oppo) would have to be classified as audiophile caliber. The speakers are Martin Logan electrostats. (For normal folks, let's just say they are VERY revealing of detail most speakers muffle. Very critical of anything wrong, therefore.)
The machine it replaced died, and I needed something to feed digital data to my D to A converter. So basically I'm using it as a transport. But the stunning thing is that my system IMPROVED when I put the Oppo in, instead of the transport I'd used for years, which (in its time) was considered state of the art.
It seems like we are offered more and more performance from less and less expensive toys. You'd have had to pay hundreds of dollars more to touch this performance a decade ago: to me the miracle is how much the Oppo achieves at an absurdly inexpensive price.
Someone else said something about it being "cheaply built." OK, but I go by actual performance.
In my system, it's making me toe-tappin' happy.
Great up-scaling DVD player 2008-02-10
We have a 37" 720p (and 1080i) LCD tv. We bought this upscaling DVD player to ride out the format wars. The picture is incredible. I can definitely tell the difference between a Blue Ray disc and an up-scaled DVD, but honestly, the difference is probably slight for all but the largest screens. Now that it looks like Blue Ray will be the winner, we will keep our eye out for a nice Blue Ray player to complement the Oppo.
