OPPO OPDV971H DVD Player

Posted by PaulC (A) on May 14, 2005 at 10:37:21

Well I have the OPPO and my first impressions compared to the other sub $400 dollar price is quiet impressive. First off I must say it has one of the nicest packing covers instead of plastic. Well built
and all functions perform smoothly and quick. Like Cary audio it uses
Blue lighting that is somewhat cool and somewhat annoying mainly from the open/close button. If this unit would be mounted abouve your tv it might prove to be to much of a distraction. I haven't found a dimming feature, but it would be nice to have one. The Video is the best I've seen and that was only through component video connections.
It has some unique feaures I haven't seen on a dvd player before, such as preset Eq settings that some are a quick fix to some fields.
Then there is a spacial enhancement with different settings.
I through in Metalica's Black album on DVD-A to test the audio because I now how this sounds through my Toshiba SD4700 and Pioneer 578, but right now the unit is what I would call a little on the bright side, so I will give it some more burn in time, but all in all very impressed especially for the dollar. Yes I know I should have put this in the review column. My bad
