Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Actually, it costs $169 in the USA...

I agree with everything else you wrote in response to the review.

I've had a 980H since December, moving from a Pioneer 59AVi. I'm very satisfied with the Oppo, both picture- and audio-wise. I haven't had any of the problems noted by the reviewer. The FW updates are a standard exercise in this day-and-age, and Oppo makes theirs easy.

Is it perfect machine? No. Have I ever owned a perfect machine? No. Does it compare to the much-more-expensive 7001? I don't have the experience to say, but would guess the answer is no.

For me, it's a nice, small machine that fits in my rack along with a DVR and a dual HD player and provides good results.
