In Reply to: Unfortunately, OPPO's specs are a bit misleading (intentionally?)... posted by Audiophilander on June 29, 2009 at 14:01:59:
It states quite clearly that it is subject the DVD region encoding restrictions.
The Oppo plays all the formats it claims to play. It says nothing about being region-free. Regional encoding is not a format, it's a feature created for the benefit of the greedy movie companies which is extremely difficult to implement on a Blu-ray player. Ask Oppo. They will explain why. They don't omit this feature to piss people off.
There are plenty of people with PAL-encoded, region-free discs. These are the discs Oppo are referring to. If you have a DVD burnt on a PAL DVD recorder, you are okay with the Oppo. DVD recorders don't typically regionally encode the discs they are recording onto. So your Uncle Floppynob in Denmark can send you footage of their family get-together.
Oppo don't fall short on their claims about the BDP-83 at all.
If you want to playback discs from other regions, stick with their older models.
