Press Release Summary = OPPO up-converting DVD player puts out a solid 1080p picture - plus it sounds great
Press Release Body = MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF. July 26, 2007 - OPPO Digital, Inc. (www.oppodigital.com), an award winning consumer electronics manufacturer, today announced that its flagship DV-981HD up-converting DVD player has been recognized yet again from the audio and video community - this time from Sound & Vision magazine. In a recent test, the magazine awarded the DV-981HD as "Certified and Recommended," a rating that is sure to hold water with home theatre enthusiasts everywhere.
The OPPO DV-981HD converts standard DVDs to high definition output such as 720p, 1080i and even true HD 1080p, making DVD watching on large screen flat panel TV a pleasant experience. Featuring an HDMI output and the award-winning DCDiŽ video processing technology by Faroudja, the player delivers a spectacular picture with vivid color, fine details, and life-like picture quality. And as Sound & Vision quickly realized, the DV-981HD offers an equally impressive audio experience, playing high-resolution audio formats such as DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD (SACD).
What's even more impressive - the DV-981HD retails at just $229, meaning there's no reason to sink a large investment prematurely into a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD solution.
As Al Griffin of Sound & Vision explains, "With HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc continuing to battle for the title of sole next-generation video format, alternatives such as the OPPO DV-981HD up-converting DVD player are an excellent option for HDTV owners who, either through a shortage of cash or an excess of good sense, prefer to wait things out on the sidelines. The DV-981HD provided consistently solid-looking 1080p pictures, as well as fine-sounding audio from DVDs, DVD-Audio discs, SACDs, and regular CDs. When you add in the player\'s ability to handle additional disc and multimedia file formats such as Picture CDs and DivX, it totals up to a pretty great deal."
\"We're continually trying to push the boundaries of the price-performance barrier and provide enthusiasts with high quality, value and versatility," explained Jason Liao, vice-president of product development at OPPO Digital. "So, we take great pride in any industry honor - and especially one from the respected Sound & Vision editors."
The DV-981HD is available today at an estimated retail price of $229 and can be ordered directly from OPPO Digital\'s web site www.oppodigital.com or through an authorized reseller.
